45 years after his first political cartoons focused on capitalism’s impact- Peter Kuper takes stock of the state of the world… and isn’t optimistic about what he sees. Across 100 pages of vivid- colorful- silent four-panel comics- Kuper traces as many aspects of how business and politics have accelerated the climate crisis- and looks at how- if things keep going in the direction they are- our oligarchic lives will be further transformed. Witty and angry in equal measure- Kuper deploys bold figures- clever metaphors- despairing howls- and some of the best drawings of his career to get his message across. Originally serialized in the legendary French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo- each page is a single blackly funny gag strip- but themes flow- recur and build across sequences to create a true hybrid of political cartoon and graphic novel. Since co-founding the influential political comics magazine World War III Illustrated in 1979- Kuper has maintained his deeply humanist / anti-capitalist perspective- while developing and broadening his graphic and story-telling skills across a range of topics and styles. In this book- he brings all of that experience- study and passion together into a powerful work that stands as a culmination of his career. See the future now- and laugh hollowly while you still can.
