About this title

Synopsis

A presidential election like no other, a successful bid for the United
States Senate by former First Lady Hillary Clinton, and the closing months
of the Clinton administration all provided abundant material in 2000 for
editorial cartoonists to perpetuate their art.
The once simple task of counting votes was transformed into a nightmare
in the Florida recount. Cartoonists, of course, zeroed in on what quickly
became a sideshow, exposing human foibles and frailties and partisan
posturing wherever they found it.
This 29 th edition includes the best works of some 160
cartoonists on those and other issues that made headlines during the year.
In addition to politics, targets included crime, gun control, the
skyrocketing economy, and continuing turmoil in the Middle East. It also
features a special tribute to famed comic strip and editorial cartoonist
Jeff MacNelly who died during the year.
