This book is collection of best of Mac, the cartoonist at Daily Mail's work in the period 2000-2009. Best one as the introduction says is the blank page with the caption: This cartoon was going to poke fun at John Prescott. But I want to keep my teeth. - Mac It was an inssult hurled at British Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott ((in year 2001) who had punched a countryside protester in face after he was hit by an egg on his way to address a meeting. Come to think of it, John Prescott and Home Secretary David Blunkett appear often in this selection of cartoon. Tony Blair would be a close third, with all those protests around Iraq war.
