Not Just for Laughs 1st edition

Why did Uffe Ellemann Jensen, minister of foreign affairs, call “the talented cartoonists the most professional political spin doctors of our time”? Why did the architect and controversialist Poul Henningsen want more satirical drawings that “disintegrate public morale” and especially “patriotism and other sorts of self-abuse”? And why did the poet and novelist Klaus Rifbjerg ask “cartoonists to unite/ around his breakfast table”? 
Well over a thousand words have been said about illustrations – also about cartoons. By the cartoonists themselves as well as by the people like Eugène Delacroix, Oscar Wilde, James Thurber and David Wallis – and even by the one and only ChatGPT. And now also by Søren Vinterberg who has discovered quotes and added some new ones – illustrated by more than fifty members of The Danish Association of Cartoonists. The 90 year anniversary book of Danish Cartoonists is finished at the stroke of a pen by showing off the works of the seven Pentel Award recipents. 
The book is written by Søren Vinterberg and illustrated by Mette Ehlers, Erik Petri, Bob Katzenelson, Maria Prohazka, Anna Pedersen, Brian Dall Schyth, Claus Seidel, Simon Væth, Morten Løfberg, Thomas Iburg, Ib Kjeldsmark, Rasmus Sand Høyer, Roald Als, Lars Vegas Nielsen, Jon Skræntskov, Jens Julius Hansen, Niels Bo Bojesen, Jørgen Bitsch, Thomas Thorhauge, Lars Jakobsen, Ditte Lander Ahlgren, Lars Andersen, Allan Buch, Gitte Skov, Toril Bækmark, Lars Ole Nejstgaard, Henrik Flagstad, Peter Hermann, Annette Carlsen, Jens Hage, Ida Noack, Louise Thrane Jensen, Mikkel Henssel, Lars Refn, Per Marquard Otzen, Morten Voigt, Clara Selina Bach, Stine Spedsbjerg, Rikke Bisgaard, Christoffer Zieler, Mia Mottelson, Jørgen Saabye, Otto Dickmeiss, Arne Sørensen, Adam O., Phillip Ytournel & Peter Klæstrup. The book also contains "The Pentel Award" written by Bob Katzenelson and Steen Iversen.
