Dave Horsey publishes sixth, maybe seventh book
Seattle Post-Intelligencer editorial cartoonist Dave Horsey has a new book coming out entitled “Draw Quick, Shoot Straight.” The book is a collection of his cartoons from the last four years.
Here’s Dave interviewing himself about the book:
Horsey: Any cartoons about Bush?
Horsey: Well, duh. (Snort of derision.) They take up pretty much half the book. The president — whomever he may be — always is the dominant figure in any batch of my cartoons, but Bush seems to have become more of an obsession for me than most.
Horsey: So, this is a book only a liberal could love?
Horsey: No, not at all. Even folks who once agreed with his politics have come to the conclusion that Bush has been a disaster for the Republican Party, if not for the country. Deficit spending, a mismanaged war, incompetence on all fronts — these are not supposed to be the hallmarks of a good conservative. Bush puts on this swaggering, cowboy persona, but, as I say in the book, he’s all hat and no cattle.

The guy interviewing Dave neglected to ask him WHEN the new book’s coming out.

Can you tell me when your new book will be coming out?? I’d like to get it for my Dad’s birthday on February 12th.
Thanks!
