  A sharp-witted, wide-ranging collection from Walt Handelsman, two-time Pulitzer Prize winner for Editorial Cartooning. Walt Handelsman’s nationally syndicated editorial cartoons have touched on international issues, nationwide events, and a few points of local interest to Louisiana, and this gallery of his work is both pointed and poignant. He has covered world dramas from Somalia to the Gulf War to Bosnia to Tiananmen Square with incredible depth in a single frame, and his humor shines through his commentary on presidential administrations and a seemingly unending supply of topics, like health care, race relations, tax reform, term limits, and, of course, campaigns. And his caricatures of Louisiana notables like Governor Edwin Edwards and the ever-controversial David Duke have made it to op-ed pages far beyond the state.  This collection showcases the insightful comic sensibility and style that have earned him, in addition to his Pulitzers, two Headliner’s Club Awards, a Society of Professional Journalist’s Award, and a Scripps Howard National Journalism Award.

  Richard Thompson reminds us that being a 40-year-old isn't hard, but being a four-year-old is. His warm, welcoming reminders are wonderfully lighthearted and funny as he brings home Alice's life in a fun, new Cul de Sac collection.Alice and her Blisshaven Preschool classmates charm fans of all ages. Their adventures ring alarmingly true to parents of little ones, too. From doing projects in a whirlwind of crayons and markers to their nonstop chatter to trying to comprehend a completely incomprehensible world, Thompson's characters make Children at Play a must-read. The little boxes crammed together, the shopping malls, and the insane traffic systems set the scene for the storylines and adventures that only suburban life can provide.Thompson's witty dialogue meets comically unique drawings to make Cul de Sac a place worthy of visiting on a daily basis."I thought the best newspaper comic strips were long gone, and I've never been happier to be wrong. Richard Thompson's Cul de Sac has it all--intelligence, gentle humor, a delightful way with words, and, most surprising of all, wonderful, wonderful drawings." --Bill Watterson, creator of Calvin and Hobbes
