Review

You may well be moved to laughter at the scathing cartoons in this bitter indictment of the nuclear arms race, but it will be a very rueful laugh indeed. The editors hope it may not be your last....

This collection of theme-related cartoons was contributed by 37 well-known editorial cartoonists from across Canada. An example of the stinging calibre of satire is a line drawing of U.S. President Ronald Reagan represented as a flasher; the surprise hidden inside this raincoat is a bomb. All royalties from the sale of Megatoons will be donated to Operation Dismantle, a national peace organization.
