From the dustjacket: A caricaturist is perhaps the most devastating of all specialists. Oscar Berger, frequently referred to as the greatest living caricaturist of world celebrities, has reached deep into his bag of perception and wit and produced a volume that is not only a mirror of human frailties as seen with the help of defenseless animals, but he has also buttressed its views with famous quotations, bits of wisdom passed on through the ages.
