Title: A flash back to the seventies through the eyes of a brilliant satirist
Review: This book is a flashback to the seventies. There are mentions of the Camp David meetings between Jimmy Carter, Menachim Begin and Anwar Sadat. The Washington Redskins football team with Billy Kilmer, John Riggins, and Joe Theismann is also featured. My favorite cartoon is a four caption one, where the Redskins coach is standing in front of the bench and we see the backs of two players. In the first three captions, the names on the jerseys are Kilmer and Thomas and in the last caption, they are Theismann and Riggins. Only a long-time football fan will recognize the significance of the names. Billy Kilmer and Joe Theismann were quarterbacks and Duane Thomas and John Riggins running backs.Trudeau possesses the skill that all good cartoonists must have, the ability to satire the world we find ourselves in a humorous and generally subtle way.
