Impeach This
Book! Cartoonist
Clay Jones collects his
smartest, funniest Donald Trump cartoons in one
ridiculously long-tied, deluxe volume!
(IMPEACHMENT DAY, November 13, 2019) -- Editorial cartoonist ClayJones has been drawing the world around him for more than two decades,
but his style and humor caught fire at the beginning of the Trump
Administration.
An award-winning artist whose work is seen on CNN as well as
newspapers and news sites across the United States and beyond, Jones collected
his best Trump-related 'toons in one full-color, 270-page deluxe collection
titled Tales From the Trumpster Fire: A Cartoon Anthology ($39.95US; Mr. Media Books, 2019).
Among his fans, Jones is perhaps best known for distinctive
north and south caricature of Donald J. Trump: the hair goes on and on to the
north while the ever-present red tie flows ever-further south. The book
features a Foreword by fellow editorial cartoonist Matt Davies and endorsements
from TV personality Rosie O'Donnell and fellow cartoonists Ann Telnaes and Mike
Peters.
