Publisher Description

WARNING! Graphic Content lives up to its title. Unabashedly liberal, award-winning cartoonist and writer Dwayne Booth (aka “Mr. Fish”), examines this pictorial language, deciphers its substructure and translates its unique alphabet into a wholly accessible vocabulary. Through extensive interviews, numerous audio and video clips and nearly 400 provocative images, Mr. Fish demonstrates unequivocally how uncensored commentarial art and weaponized jokes from cartoonists, satirists and fine artists throughout history provide humanity with its most revealing self-portraits. 
To maximize a reader's experience, the nearly 400 cartoons, drawings and paintings are intended to zoom-in on the detailing and provide visceral proof of the adage that a picture is worth a thousand words. Moreover, making use of links to various "Distractions," Booth manages to confront issues and arguments that occupy that nebulous space just at the periphery of the main talking points, the idea being that any true understanding of a subject resides in recognizing that nothing is wholly self-contained and always has something to do with something else.
This is work that provokes thought and commentary, and is not intended for the faint of heart.
