This book of best cartoons by Jim Morin is both funny and poignant. It is a nostalgic journey through the last forty years of the comedy and reality of our world. Upon awarding the prestigious Herblock Prize to Jim Morin in 2007, Harry Katz, the Herb Block Foundation curator, praised this two-time Pulitzer Prize winner for his &ldquo;impressive, unrelenting barrage of cartoons and caricatures displaying artistry, courage and conviction.&rdquo; Morin should also be praised for his wit and timely wry sense of humor, which has been a staple of the Miami Herald since 1978.
