First published in 1972, the annual series has been widely acclaimed as a concise yet far-ranging pictorial history of each year’s events.

In addition, many volumes have featured a foreword by a distinguished history maker, reporter, or interpreter of historic events. Providing special insight into the cartoonist’s art have been the following notables:

    James J. Kirkpatrick, syndicated columnist
    Daniel Patrick Moynihan, United States senator
    Jerry Robinson, syndicated editorial cartoonist
    Barry Goldwater, United States senator
    Hubert Humphrey, United States senator

The 1982 edition contains more than 360 editorial cartoons reflecting the best efforts of 141 cartoonists, along with an illuminating foreword by Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist Mike Peters. He discusses how a cartoonist conceives the ideas for his daily work.
