review 1: David Rees' strip was a little burst of lacerating criticism and subversive sanity in the time before War on Terror-themed dissent became widespread. I liked it then, but was surprised by how impactful it still felt in 2014. The anthology format works well, emphasizing the crushing redundancy, the tragic repetition of miscreants making miscalculations, the folly of the clip art protagonists wearing their Santa hats year after year after year while we and our war blunder on.
review 2: "You know who I've really come to like all this? John Ashcroft. The guy just gives me a good feeling.... Man, these are some strong anti-depressants I'm taking!"In "Get Your War On," writer-comedian David Rees wrapped our pain in laughter. Brilliant, tragic, devastatingly funny and... more so terribly sad. Like Garry Trudeau's "Doonesbury" during the Vietnam and Watergate years, this anthology will be relevant for decades to come - because we'll still be living the repercussions of the horrors and the hubris. less
