Trade Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Trever, John (illustrator). First Printing Stated. 192 Pages. This is the November 1992 First Printing Edition. There is a very light front cover bottom corner crease. All cartoons are from the Albuquerque Journal and the date of publication is shown at the top of each cartoon. If the editorial page of the Albuquerque Journal is its conscience, John Trever is its Jiminy Cricket. Like the top-hatted and umbrella-carrying character, Trever perches up on the right shoulder of the editorial page, reaching past the many and thoughtful written words found there, deflating the mighty, championing the lowly. His brush reduces great moments of state and small peccadillos of statesmen to their essence of absurdity in a way that is at once entertainment and serious political commentary. Trever's gift is a fortunate convergence of two separate talents. One is the eye and hand of the visual artist and satirist. The images will communicate their message with style and clarity. Just as important, however, is the political-social observer's mind out of which his ideas spring. Trever is a voracious consumer of information and ideas. He reads, he ponders - he files away. In his file drawers and in his head, Trever keeps a running contemporary data base of people and events. When an idea springs out of the day's news, Trever usually has the historical context to make it whole. The praise - and the blame - for Trever's topics lie with him alone. That is also true for the viewpoints expressed. While he occasionally seeks a second opinion from his word-bound editorial page colleagues about one sketch or another, it is he who decides who will come under his brush and when. To regular readers of the Journal, his versatility is obvious. One day, he draws world leaders in a situation on the other side of the world; the next, it's orange barrels on the Interstate. If he has a preference among local, national and international topics, it doesn't show in his work. It is easy to become a cynic working the editorial page on a daily newspaper. Trever, however, retains the belief that things can be changed for the better, the sense that he can, through his work, urge people in power to do the right thing. So sit back and enjoy, in the ensuing pages you will be able to revisit the anxieties and indignations of many a bygone issue - and perhaps even glean new insight into what is happening today.
