A Recent History of the United States in Political Cartoons: A Look Bok
by Chip Bok, 2005
From Amazon.com:
"As a humor columnist, I also work in the whoopee-cushion sector of journalism. So over the years, I've come to know many cartoonists, and one of my favorites, as both a professional and a guy, is Chip Bok. I met him in the early 1980's in Miami, where both he and I worked for the Miami Herald's wonderful (and, alas, now defunct) Sunday magazine, Tropic. For awhile, Chip drew terrific illustrations for my column, but before long his talent took him to the Akron Beacon Journal, for whom he has been turning out wonderful work ever since.

Bok!: The 9.11 Crisis in Political Cartoons
by Chip Bok, 2002
From Amazon.com:
"The primary targets of my drawing have always been the leaders of my own government from city council to Congress to the president. That’s what cartoonists do and that’s what the public expects of us. But what happens when an enemy force attacks the government, not with sarcasm and satire, but with commercial aircraft loaded with jet fuel, and destroys national landmarks in New York City and Washington D.C., killing thousands of people? In the immediate aftermath of the September 11 attack a lot of things changed, and I felt like one of them was my job description. No more mucking around with Gary Condit. The social security lock box was now a dead issue. And while it was tempting to make something of the president’s disappearing act in Air Force One on that day, it’s tough to attack the commander-in-chief when the United States itself has just been attacked. This book contains a collection of my cartoons from that day forward."
