Private Eye a Cartoon History

2013 | Humor & Comedy

Celebrating the very best cartoons from Britain's premier publisher of humorous art!
Featuring more than 1,000 of the funniest jokes ever drawn, Private Eye A Cartoon History is a decade by decade chronicle of the gags and issues that tickled the nation's funny bone sometimes with a sledgehammer.
From the Swinging Sixties through the Naughty Nineties to the Neurotic Noughties, this go-to compendium of mirth provides not only laugh-out-loud merriment, but also a chin-stroking socio-political history of the past half century. (It had better not. Ed.)
No publication provides a showcase for cartoons quite like Private Eye. For over 50 years it has published topical jokes, strips and stand-alone cartoons many of which have become comedy classics. Now, Private Eye A Cartoon History provides the most comprehensive record ever of the magazine's contribution to visual humour. Featuring thumbnail profiles of the magazine's top artists and a cartoonist s view of the joke-making process, Private Eye A Cartoon History is a treasure-trove of comedy gold.
