Synopsis

Wildcat Anarchist Comics collects the drawings of Donald Rooum, mostly (but by no means entirely) from the long-running Wildcat cartoon series that has been published in Freedom newspaper since 1980. Rooum does not just purvey jokes but makes the drawings comical in themselves, 'getting the humour in the line', provoking laughter even in those who do not read the captions or speech balloons. The book also includes a lively autobiographical introduction that discusses Rooum's role in the 1963 'Challenor case'.

A propos du livre

À propos des auteurs

Donald Rooum, born 1928, became an anarchist in 1944 and has contributed articles to the anarchist paper Freedom since 1947. He studied graphic design in Bradford, England, and his cartoons have been published in the British press since 1950. His editorial cartoons have appeared in Peace News since 1962. His strip series "Wildcat" has appeared in Freedom since 1980, and "Sprite" in The Skeptic since 1987. In 1963, he was charged with carrying an offensive weapon, but the prosecuting officer made a mistake in planting the evidence, and in working to save his own skin Donald accidentally initiated the celebrated "Challenor case," a conspiracy among police officers to discredit nonviolent demonstrators.
