Everyone from your Great Aunt to your Grandson will grin if you give them 'The Cartoon Art of Mike Lane" Editorial cartoonist on the Baltimore Evening Sun for the past 18 years, Mike Lane is a nationally syndicated, award-winning artist. You have chuckled over his depic­ tions of musicians in the pages of Peabody News, now enjoy the full range of Mike's talents. With a Preface by Ray Jenkins, and a hilarious Introduction by Dan Rodricks, the book contains over 150 illustrations, including 90 editorial cartoons that chronicle American political life from Watergate to Saddam Hussein, from Vietnam to the Fall of Communism. Marylanders will have a special affinity for the depictions of local no­ tables from Marvin Mandel to Governor Schaefer. Cartoons Mike Lane drew when he accompanied The Peabody Symphony Or­ chestra to Moscow or when he simply hung around the Peabody cafeteria as a Prep parent justle with portraits of famous people from Mick Jagger to Bishop Tutu from the artist's own private portfolio. $10 a copy (Limited Edition) Proceeds benefit Peabody.
