By Anthony Haden-Guest. In this highly entertaining book, internationally acclaimed cartoonist and journalist Anthony Haden-Guest offers a one-of-a-kind collection of cartoons that present darkly humorous commentary on art, celebrity, and the way we live today. With the same piercing humor that has made him one of the top contributors to the world's leading publications and television shows, Haden-Guest presents dozens of amusing parodies targeting the business world, media and journalism, and what people say versus what they really mean.

This hilarious parody of today's times also includes the author's blueprint for an End-of the-World-as-We Know-It game. Whether readers are members of the inner circles being parodied or mere witnesses of modern life, they will be utterly captivated by these amusing yet poignant observations of our teeming times.Anthony Haden-Guest is a cartoonist, journalist, and author.
