No one quite gets
it like cartoonist Andy Singer. Quick, quirky and downright brilliant,
Andy’s
parody of social culture and politics takes you for a ride where
there is No Exit. The Brooklyn born offspring of politically active
parents, Andy worked at copy shops—after graduating with
a BA in Fine Arts—for the easy access it gave him to the
photocopy machines. Illustrating the raw side of America, Singer’s
pen and ink style drawings have led to his emergence in the pages
of such notable and varied publications as Z Magazine, The
New Yorker, Esquire and Adbusters.
Now residing in St. Paul Minnesota, Singer’s biting graphic commentary
hits on a wide range of topics, including the Bush administration’s foibles,
all things political, rampant consumerism, the meat industry, and human idiocy
and alienation. Singer is also the wit behind “Comics for Vegetables,” a
weekly comic featuring the domestic drama of Happy and Crabby and their plants.
In this issue of Satya, enjoy one of Andy’s favorite themes, global warming,
along with a sampling of other subjects in cartoons reprinted from his book No
Exit.
No Exit by Andy Singer is available in paperback for $10.95 from New York’s
NBM Publishing (www.nbmpublishing.com; 212-643-5407) as part of its Attitude
series, a showcase of individual artists who break all boundaries. For information
