Story and art by Rob Rogers.

After 25 years as a political cartoonist for the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Rob Rogers was fired for drawing cartoons critical of President Trump. In Enemy of the People, Rogers writes, "Trump's open embrace of the darkest, ugliest corners of human nature has emboldened racists, neo-Nazis, criminals, thugs, despots, misogynists, and liars to come out from under their rocks and display their shameful behavior publicly. That includes publishers and editors who years ago may have been too ashamed to express their hateful views on the editorial page." From a cartoon killing spree to a social media buzz, all the way to an appearance on CNN to his final days at the paper, Rogers chronicles his unenviable journey with honesty, wit, and humor.

Softcover, 8-in. x 11-in., 180 pages, full color.

NOTE:

"Rob Rogers exemplifies (the) idea of an 'American genius'" - Sanjit Sethi, Director, George Washington University's Corcoran School of the Arts and Design
"Rogers is opinionated, unrestrained and a wisenheimer of the top chop. In short, he's doing his job. He is the indispensable irritant that keeps us scratching and thinking." - Dennis Roddy, award-winning political consultant and former columnist and reporter for the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

Story and art by Adrian Tomine.

What happens when a childhood hobby grows into a lifelong career?

The Loneliness of the Long-Distance Cartoonist, Adrian Tomine's funniest and most revealing foray into autobiography, offers an array of unexpected answers. When a sudden medical incident lands Tomine in the emergency room, he begins to question if it was really all worthwhile: despite the accolades and opportunities of a seemingly charmed career, it's the gaffes, humiliations, slights, and insults he's experienced (or caused) within the industry that loom largest in his memory.

While Tomine mines his conflicted relationship with comics and comics culture, a richer emotional story emerges as his memories are delineated in excruciatingly hilarious detail.

Hardcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 168 pages, 2C.
