Celebrants and detractors alike are chewing on the fact that Donald Trump was elected president. Shannon Wheeler and Robert Sikoryak help you swallow. In their books, "Sh*t My President Says," from Top Shelf and, "The Unquotable Trump," from Drawn & Quarterly (respectively), these two cartoonists illustrate Trump’s words for comedic effect and insight. There are slides, a brief history of political satire and politics in comic books, and laughter through the tears as they wrestle with an understanding of our current dystopia. Can satire keep up with reality? Shannon Wheeler is the two-time Eisner winning creator of, "Too Much Coffee Man," and a New Yorker cartoonist. Robert Sikoryak started at Raw magazine, is a New Yorker contributor, and the author of, "Terms and Conditions," from Drawn & Quarterly.
