Satirist and cartoonist Peter Brookes had a field day with the characters of Donald Trump and Boris Johnson dominant in this book, captured so well with his sweeping and colourful pen. Has anyone ever captured the facets of Boris so well? This unmissable new collection of sketches of contemporary political life showcases the stand-out pieces from his daily cartoons in The Times, breath-taking in their bite and wit. He begins with a series of four panels showing Myanmar's ruler, Nobel Peace Prize laureate Aung San Suu Kyi, her halo inverting and a military cap descending until she is in full military regalia, with blood on her hands, President Trump takes selfies and wears a badge Hail Me! And when Playboy magazine founder Hugh Hefner dies, Boris Johnson's huge rear end is pictured, him in Playboy bunny costume with huge red lips. Theresa May's persistent cough is here caused by the leapfrog Boris, there are blasts from the past in China, Zimbabwe, with military takeovers and the brilliant Nature Notes, one on page 15 of the Complete Tits and the absolutely brilliant reclining Boris after Velazquez's Rokeby Venus, blowing himself a kiss. And of course Brexit, Meghan Markle, Strictly Come Widdecombe, 5G network, the royal family and more. Foreword by Daniel Finkelstein, 2019. You have to admire this incredible artwork, churned out daily and with such topical references of the day. 112pp, 27 x 21cm.
