4.9/5 (11026 ratings)

Description:What would you do if you had to lead a regiment of British Red Coats up Bunker Hill, knowing that your revolutionary adversary was addicted to tossing off gaudy, immortal orders like "Don't fire until you see the whites of their eyes!" Rowland B. Wilson solves the problem by sending his Red Coats up wearing dark glasses, and so they march across the jacket of this book, to the consternation of our colonial ancestors.In this manner, Mr. Wilson takes us on a guided tour of well-remembered incidents in history, some dubious legends, and some totally uncalled-for interpretations of past and present. Along the way he punctures some of our most cherished ideas of what it was like back in the days of the giants. From ancient Egyptian history (Pharaoh's overseer points to a blueprint for the Great Pyramid and reminds the local labor force, "A little hard work never killed anybody.") to American literary classics (A gigantic black whale smashes two whaling boats to bits as from the ship, a wooden-legged captain shouts, "No, damn it! The white one! The white one!") nothing escapes his fresh wit and masterful drawing technique. The result is this hilarious, oversized book of over 100 cartoons, sixteen of which are in three colors, which should establish Rowland B. Wilson as one of the most gifted cartoonists in America.Rowland B. Wilson works for Young and Rubicam. He has published cartoons with The Saturday Evening Post, Escapade, Esquire and The New Yorker. Ideas are easy to come by, he says; it is the drawing that takes a long time. One glance at his style will show why: his characters are superb, his detail immense, his knowledge of historical periods devastatingly accurate. The Whites of Their Eyes, Mr. Wilson's first collection, is one of the most exciting cartoon books of this, or any, season.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
