As the review on the cover of this book said, "a New Yorker cartoon might tickle you, but a good Punch could draw blood." These are seriously good cartoons, and yet unknown to most Americans. Following up on what the previous reviewer said, if you have the complete New Yorker cartoons, you should get this book. And you just might find that Punch was funnier and sharper. These cartoons go back to Punch's beginning in the mid-19th century, and are a fascinating look into eras gone by. ( ) This is very entertaining and makes a good companion piece to "The Complete Cartoons of the New Yorker", which it closely resembles in format. A minor quibble is that whoever re-keyed the cartoon captions should be given a stout kick and a book on typography, as a large percentage of the apostrophes in contracted words are the wrong way around (i.e., they've used opening quotes instead).

“The Best of Punch Cartoons” is as much a document of social history as it is a cartoon album, and it’s hard to read this big book without a twinge of nostalgia for a bygone era — if you’re an American, for a time when the English were more English and not quite so much like us. Even those ponderous, labored Victorian cartoons have their charm, for probably no one will ever again take being funny quite this seriously.
Collected in this hilarious anthology are some of the most side-splitting cartoons ever published in one of the world’s most noted humor magazines. Each of the cartoons is arranged in chronological order dating back from Punch’s first appearance in 1841 up through contemporary issues. Packed with superb gags and beautiful artwork by some of the finest artists of the past two centuries, this is an essential anthology for any fan of cartoons, visual humor, or of the legendary Punch magazine.
