No Cartoon Left Behind
by Rob Rogers
published by Carnegie-Mellon University Press

Here it is, the big book of editorial cartoons by the resident cartoonist at The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette for the past quarter century.  This is an especially nice book as editorial cartoon collections go.  It is a wallopin' 380 10" x 12" pages printed on semi-gloss stock.  It opens up with five chapters that give a brief overview of Rob's development as a cartoonist and then heads in for twenty thematically united chapters of cartoons that take us on rollercoaster ride of the last twenty five years, through the prism of his editorial lens.  Especially interesting is the chapter, "Holy Cow Tipping," which includes a number of examples of the kind of venomous and vituperative responses his cartoons sometimes receive from the Post-Gazette's readership as well as several cartoons that were either killed by the editors of the paper or deemed by Rogers himself to have been a mistake.  This chapter provides a fascinating behind the scenes glimpse at the world of editorial cartooning that is the icing on this birthday cake of a book.
