Cartoonists are finally getting their due. Compiled and edited by Lee Lorenz, former art editor of The New Yorker and an acclaimed cartoonist in his own right, The Essential Cartoonists library is a celebration of this unique visual art form. Each volume focuses on one truly outstanding artist and features approximately 150 of the artist's best cartoons, as well as insight into background, influences, inspirations, working habits, and more. Launching the series: The Essential George Booth and The Essential Charles Barsotti. In Booth, Lorenz traces the career of this New Yorker icon. Known primarily for his unmistakable characters--Mr. Ferguson, the violin-playing Mrs. Rittenhouse, curmudgeons with their crazed dogs and unruly profusion of cats--Booth combines warmth, energy, quirkiness, and amazing detail. Like another famous Missourian, Mark Twain, Booth has never lost that flavor of small-town eccentricity--or the laugh-out-loud humor that defines his work.

Review:
This collection of work from New Yorker cartoonist George Booth is an absolute hoot. His drawings are insanely, gloriously cluttered. Motors, old tires, and hundreds of cats tumble out of corners and spread as far as the eye can see. Missouri native Booth tends toward affectionate bits of Americana: people living in a perpetual state of yard sale, a beleaguered husband doing slow burns behind his newspaper, and a particularly enthusiastic amateur band. Booth's characters exhibit a truly wonderful can-do spirit that flies in the face of logic--one cannot help but root for Mr. Pudney and his scheme to breed small horses as household pets. Interviews with Booth are dispersed throughout the book, giving a nice glimpse of the mind behind the work, but his laugh-out-loud cartoons more than stand on their own. --Ali Davis
From the Back Cover:
Mrs. Ritterhouse, Mr. Ferguson, The Man In The Tub - And, Of course, That Dog...
George Booth is an icon, a quintessential New Yorker cartoonist whose lovable band of cat ladies and crackpots has been delighting readers for over thirty years. Now he finally gets his artistic due in The Essential George Booth, an irresistible collection of over 100 drawings plus an appreciation and interview by noted cartoonist and art editor Lee Lorenz.
