First sentence: This book starts where its predecessor, What's Got Your Back Up?, ended in the middle of 1961, and the cartoons are once more accompanied by a running commentary in cases where it seemed that the events which inspired the pictures might have dimmed somewhat in memory.
Description: The nearly 200 cartoons in this new collection range from the incisively witty to the explosive. They represent the artist's choice of his best work during an extraordinary period —Fall 1961 through Spring 1965— and amount to a cartoon history of the times, covering such diverse topics as the Cuban crisis, the Sino-Soviet dispute, the assassination of President Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson's race against Barry Goldwater and his re-election, and the war in Vietnam.
