Click to enlargeHumor's Edge: Cartoons by Ann Telnaes

Published in cooperation with the Library of Congress, Pomegranate is proud to present syndicated editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes’ first book. A “big” artist—really: her cartoon originals are two feet wide—Telnaes is a big talent, appearing in The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Newsday, the Baltimore Sun, the Boston Globe, Le Monde, and the Minneapolis Star Tribune, among other newspapers. Her work also appears on the Internet, and she contributes to the comic strip Six Chix.

A tireless indignation powers Telnaes’ streamlined drawings. She takes on the important and complex issues of the day, distilling their essence and expressing her sense of humor and her sense of justice—and injustice. No one and no thing is spared, whether Washington pols, international bullies, or “sacred” societal institutions, but she also celebrates human resiliency. Bringing a humorous yet cutting original spirit to her art, Ann Telnaes sheds a distinctive light on contemporary issues.
