With his witty, irreverent humour, Harrop has satirized most of Canada's major political figures. He has commented on government scandals, the cosy connection of politicians and pop idols, and the continuing battles between the feds and the provinces. Above all, however, Harrop focuses on everyday subjects: fast food outlets, computer technicians, the fashion industry, struggles between doctors and their patients, Revenue Canada's voracious appetite and, more recently, the 2010 winter Olympics. In his wonderfully suggestive cartoons, this gentle satirist has been making us laugh for some two decades at our leaders, our celebrities and ourselves.\"Graham Harrop has what most cartoonists dream of - an unfettered imagination, a sublime silliness and as graceful a way with words as with pen and brush.\"—Dan Murphy, editorial cartoonist for the Vancouver Province","brand":"Ronsdale Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47060304363760,"sku":"9781553800538","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781553800538_p0.jpg?v=1763753981","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781553800538","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
