The Conscience of a Cartoonist by Jeff Danziger

The Conscience of a Cartoonist by Jeff Danziger

The Conscience of a Cartoonist collects the lauded editorial cartoonist's post 9/11 body of work. Danziger documents, via cartoons and extensive, educational commentary, the tragedy of that day and the politically disorganized response that followed. This coffee-table book is also his exegesis on the art of editorial cartooning.

Jeff Danziger grew up in Bedford, New York, and was born in New York City in 1943. He joined the Army in 1968 and served for four years, including one tour as an intelligence officer in Vietnam. He received the Bronze Star as well as the Air Medal. He has worked as a staff cartoonist for the New York Daily News and the Christian Science Monitor, and his work has appeared in publications such as the New York Times, Boston Globe, Los Angeles Times, Izvestia, Le Monde, Courrier International, Wall Street Journal, London Times, International Herald Tribune, and Die Welt, as well as journals such as the New Yorker. In Boston and New York, he studied sketching, as well as at the Staedel Museum School and the Malakademie in Frankfurt, Germany.

He has ten books of cartoons, a children's book called The Champlain Monster, and a novel called Rising Like the Sun about the Vietnam War. He is a New Yorker.
