Book Overview

From politics to the hazards of smoking, no topic escapes being satirized in this collection of comic strips by the internationally syndicated author

"Sylvia--that hard-drinking, chain-smoking, wisecracking dame whose voice, one imagines, would be as coarse as the wild hair she tames with her trademark scarf." --People
For over thirty years, Nicole Hollander ridiculed politics and society through the dryly witty observations of Sylvia, the protagonist of a comic strip series of the same name. With an unrelenting focus on contemporary political and social issues, Sylvia delighted and outraged readers by turns with its razor-sharp humor. This edition delivers a collection of Sylvia's best observations, accompanied by Hollander's reflections on her work and the topics covered, as well as her journey to creating the character of Sylvia.

Even well after Sylvia's final strip, the comic remains highly amusing and relevant to our own time. In addition, it provides much-needed insight into the political situation of the recent past and how it continues to shape the present.
