"Halifax Chronicle-Herald and Mail-Star cartoonist Bruce MacKinnon is less well-known outside the Maritimes than he deserves to be. He has won his share of prizes, but MacKinnonâs cartoonsâunlike those of his cartoonist colleagues in the central Canadian mediaâhave not yet attracted a wide national audience. They should. He has a wicked eye, the distinctive Canadian knack for skewering the great and powerful, puncturing pomposity, and standing up for the underdog. George Bush, for example, is a baseball pitcher (number 00, of course) pitching the world at a bat labelled Iraq. Paul Martin, smiling cheerfully with his âbudget bootsâ up on his desk, has Atlantic Canada squashed on his sole. Kim Campbell is a relief pitcher (numbered 0) with âWild Thingâ on her uniformed back, watching a home run sail out of the park. That splendid juxtaposition of the Blue Jaysâ World Series win and the Toriesâ election slaughter would justify buying the book, even if we did not have a number of splendid Mulroney cartoons." -Reviewed by J.L. Granatstein, History professor at York University and the co-author of the Dictionary of Canadian Military History.
