Description

Wildcat Anarchist Comics collects the humorous drawings of Donald Rooum from his long-running "Wildcat" cartoon series. Rooum's cartoons are comical in themselves, often provoking laughter without relying on captions or speech balloons. The chief characters in the strip include a short-fused anarchist and an intellectual who struggles to make anarchism respectable. Governments, bosses, and authoritarians are portrayed as buffoons, while anarchists are not immune to ridicule. This collection includes strips from The Skeptic, beautifully colored for the first time by Jayne Clementson. A lively autobiographical introduction accompanies the book, discussing Rooum's involvement in a notable 1963 incident involving a corrupt police officer and his acquittal.
