Back to the '80s [Paperback - Used]

CONDITION - USED - Pages can include limited notes and highlighting, and the copy can include "From the library of" labels or previous owner inscriptions. Accessories such as CD, codes, toys, may not be included. In more than 50 never-before-published cartoons and one-page incisive essays, Mr. Ohman keeps us laughing as he creates startlingly fresh and funny images of an America running short of original ideas, its leaders switching the channels of its past for themes and fashions that might help explain - or prevent - its increasingly high-speed, high-tech future. Welcome back to the '80s! Where an old movie and TV actor pitches his presidential nostrums in the saccharine style of Ozzie Nelson. Father Knows Best, America. Where Gary Hart is passing Camelot tips along to Jack Kemp and Joe Biden. Where Jesse Jackson tried to fill the shows of a King - and stumbled. Where we watch television "reunion" shows, and "The Honeymooners" and "Leave It to Beaver" are more popular than ever. If you feel a weird sense of deja vu every time you hear a politician or watch television, and happen to enjoy the best in political humor - whatever the form - pick up BACK TO THE '80S for your first truly original experience of the decade. Jack Ohman is the editorial cartoonists for The Oregonian. This was his first book.
