Torrid Times
New Hardback Illustrated
Postscript summary
The turbulence of the past two years provided The Times’ cartoonist Peter Brookes with plenty of material for these 100 acerbic images. Royal disputes, the war in Ukraine and President Trump’s indictment all come under scrutiny, alongside turmoil in the British government – Partygate, ‘Suella cruella’ and her response to small boats, Liz Truss’ administration and Boris Johnson as the ‘Self-Terminator’ ending his premiership with ‘Hasta la vista baby’.
Product information
Full publisher description
Torrid Times is the terrifyingly funny new collection of cartoons by The Times's master satirist, Peter Brookes.
Brookes, multiple winner of the British Press Awards Cartoonist of the Year, dissects contemporary political life like a mad surgeon in these, the finest of his opinion-page cartoons from The Times, each up to the minute and breathtaking in its bite and wit.
Torrid Times deftly sends up our troubled era, brilliantly describing the mess the world is in whilst mercilessly lampooning those who made it that way. Hilarious and beautifully crafted, these cartoons are, as always, the sumptuous evidence of a genius at work.
