(W/A) Drew Friedman
$29.99 / HC / 200 pgs / FC
With this fat, beautiful collection of caricatures, Drew Friedman and the grist for his mill finally get the showcases they deserve. You're sure to recognize Friedman's "Barack Obama as George Washington" New Yorker cover as well as his brutal depictions of Britney Spears and her tabloid-filling ilk. Never before (or since) have George W. Bush, Tiny Tim, Barney Fife, Bob Dylan, Sarah Palin, Woody Allen, Jerry Lewis, Conan O'Brien and many, many more looked so gorgeously ugly. Freidman also provides commentary on the stories behind the drawings. The cover is a stunning depiction of Michael Jackson. Too soon? Nah!
