	Chat with David Rees
		David, Lawrence, KS: Wittgenstein begins his "Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus" with the line, "The world is all the it the case." Not only that, but a blog on Lawrence.com shares that line as its title.
		David Rees: I tried veganism for about nine weeks and realized I was eating a can of Pringle's every night because I was so damn hungry all the time.
		David Rees: Most of the GYWO clip art was published in "Office Situations." This wonderfully named collection of clip art was published by Dover in New York.

	The Austin Chronicle News: Get Your Brain on with Cartoonist David Rees
		During the past year you may have received one of David Rees' sardonic comic strips in your inbox or spotted one on the door of the office fridge.
		Rees' Get Your War On features cubicle workers discussing (usually on the telephone) the War on Terrorism, the War on Drugs, the Enron scandal, and other contemporary problems in a profane, often depressed, and very cynical tone.
		One of Rees' own favorite GYWO strips features his two main characters discussing the U.S. decision to air-drop food aid packages over Afghanistan, one of the most heavily land-mined countries on earth.

	The Parthenon
		Cartoonist David Rees spoke to his audience of about 50 on Marshall´s campus Wednesday.
		Rees, the cartoonist behind the popular Internet cartoon "Get Your War On" as well as the comic strips "My New Fighting Tech-nique is Unstoppable" and "My New Filing Technique is Unstop-pable" presented his work to a group of 50 Marshall students, faculty, and Huntington citizens.
		After a warning about the use of profanity, Rees put copies of his comics on an overhead projector and explained the background behind each one and how he started drawing comics on the computer.

	Metroactive Arts \| David Rees
		David Rees' "Get Your War On" appeared when we needed it most, filling a vacuum left by others who get paid to make us laugh and think.
		Rees pulled off the magic of a true humorist, allowing us to do both at the same time.
		As life returned to normal, Rees' work reverted to some of the absurdist roots of his previous strip, "My New Fighting Technique Is Unstoppable." But as President Bush prepared the nation for war in Iraq in the name of freedom, our foul-mouthed doppelgangers were there to provide the commentary.

	Q&A with David Rees \| lawrence.com
		However, Rees' voice is unmistakable for any other - not simply because of the profanity that precludes GYWO's placement in daily newspapers, but because of his ruthless blending of clear, civic-minded thinking with spoiled-American apathy.
		David Rees: Actually, after long deliberation, my wife and I have just decided to move upstate to Beacon, New York.
		Insofar as I'm a political cartoonist that a few people still bother to read, I feel like I have a responsibility to make cartoons that are genuinely important.

	The Parthenon - Cartoons, curses, politics
		Rees believes after the election, things will calm down in the political world.
		Alexis Stewart, print journalism freshman from Logan and member of White Rose, the organization that brought Rees to Marshall's campus, said she was glad Rees came to Huntington.
		Rees said that even though he's popular now, after the election he may not have anything to write about.

	The Harvard Crimson :: Arts :: Rees' Anti-War Comics Use Sarcasm, Obscenity, and Clip-Art
		The editor, who’d been trying to get Rees to branch out and write some actual articles for the magazine anyway, agreed to the deal, and the fate of the cartoon strip was thrown to the hands of the voters.
		Rees spoke briefly about the history of his comic strip before reading some of his favorite panels from the last few years, reminding the audience of the historical context behind each one.
		Rees moved to Brooklyn in 2000, where he continued drawing and trying to sell homemade compilations of his strips.

	Oberlin Alumni Magazine: Spring 2003
		The four-letter words that exploded out of Rees' droll, cubicle-bound workers that October evening were singular and groundbreaking.
		Rees posted the strips, which assumed the title Get Your War On, and forwarded the link to a few friends.
		Even if the comic is more catharsis than propaganda, Rees has found another way to promote change: He is donating all the author royalties from his book to the Adopt-A-Minefield campaign.

	Have Clip Art, Will Dissent
		Rees is not your average Sunday-paper comic strip artist.
		The 30-year-old Rees started his comic in response to "Operation Enduring Freedom." It began as a personal joke, for him and his friends.
		The big stress came in the fall of 2001, where I made this personal thing and it got spread all over the Internet and suddenly it was like hundreds of thousands of people reading it and e-mailing me their really intensely personal reactions to it.

	Jackson Free Press \| Now, Where is Jackson? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		"Now where exactly is Jackson?" was the response when we asked if anti-war cartoonist David Rees could stop by on his 30-cities-in-50-days book tour supporting his new book, "Get Your War On.” He found us Nov. 14 when his Greyhound bus deposited him on Jefferson Street.
		Later, Rees enjoyed more bourbon and Rhonda Richmond at Hal & Mal’s (where the staff lined up to buy books), had long conversations in a renovated loft on South Street (he got his own bed), and was duly shocked that the Confederate battle flag is actually part of the Mississippi state flag.
		Headed to the airport the next morning, Rees proclaimed his Jackson stop the highlight of his book tour to date.

	The Believer - Interview with David Rees
		The style of David Rees’s Get Your War On mimics the message—the mundane clip art juxtaposed with the shocking, over the top language captures the absurdity most of us felt going about our everyday lives.
		It speaks simultaneously to the quiet rage and anxiety many felt over Sept. 11, the helplessness to stop the trip to hell in a handbasket we seemed to be taking together, and the catharsis that comes with having a laugh in the throes of calamity.
		THE BELIEVER: From the opening panel of the strip, it’s clear that one of the targets is that kind of disconnect between the political rhetoric and the reality of what it meant.

	Exclaim! Canada's Music Authority
		Not unlike the renegade comedy of fellow New Yorker David Cross, Rees seemed to understand the need to jolt readers out of their moral paralysis.
		The first year of the strip has just been collected in book form by Soft Skull Press, and Rees is donating his royalties to the Adopt-A-Minefield campaign for landmine removal (www.landmines.org).
		While he originally sourced most of the images from the web, he had to track down all the original clip art when it came time to publish Get Your War On as a book.

		He displayed and read some of his cartoons, keeping the 65-person crowd in the Reitz Union Rion Ballroom laughing.
		The events of Sept. 11, 2001, and the response of the White House motivated Rees to create his comic in October 2001.

	Bookslut \| An Interview with David Rees
		Sometimes I identify myself as a cartoonist and I feel like I am part of a community; other times I feel like I am outside of that community -- looking in, wishing that I was part of the big cartoonist posse.
		Alternative political cartooning, which I guess is what you say these guys do and not just drawing single panels of talking donkeys and elephants and caricature; they appear on alternative weekly newspapers.
		So that world, the world of alternative political cartoonists is pretty small, and so those two guys were always really supportive, and that was impressive to me because it is a small world, and I thought it was really cool that they were willing to support me when I came onto the scene.

	CampusProgress.org \| Get Your War On: An Interview with Cartoonist David Rees
		Only a few weeks after September 11th, David Rees, then a fact-checker at Maxim magazine, sent his friends a few scathingly funny cartoons he made from found clip art featuring generic office workers chatting about the administration’s response to the terror attack.
		In a way the strip is like a diary and I try not to censor myself, but there is some artifice to it and it is scripted.
		You know it would be like meeting David Mamet and saying “Wow, he uses so much profanity in his plays, but it’s strange because he hasn’t called me a cocksucker at all during the entire interview.”

		More than likely it’s from the pen of cartoonist David Rees, the man responsible for “Get Your War On,” Web strips on www.mnftiu.cc (it stands for “My New Fighting Technique is Unstoppable”), which were recently collected and published by Soft Skull Press.
		The strips are difficult to reproduce here due to the intense use of the “muther” of all four-letter words.
		Thursday (Nov. 7) Rees will sign books, discuss his creation and involvement in Adopt-A-Minefield and show a short film he made in Afghanistan last spring, 7 p.m.

		Fighting Technique was the product of tedium (a temp job in a windowless basement at Citicorp, he reveals), an absurd postmodern mix of karate clip art, simple graphics and profanity that at first scanned as woefully stupid, but became progressively funnier as I turned the pages.
		At a time when most people were afraid to voice any reservations about America’s response to 9/11 (hell, some people were afraid to even leave the house), Rees managed almost unintentionally to air out contrary thoughts in a public forum (the strip’s earliest publicity was strictly word-of-mouth).
		When I ask him about future projects, Rees mentions some ambitions toward prose writing, and his band the Skeleton Killers, but mostly he seems content to remain in the present.

		After 9/11, some Americans turned to their mind-numbing television sets to cope, filling their days with constant news reports and banal programming.
		New York cartoonist David Rees channeled his rage and confusion in a more productive manner–he created the Internet clip art comic strip Get Your War On (GYWO) which would become a barometer for political issues, popular enough to be included as a regular feature in Rolling Stone.
		Before GYWO, Rees produced three other clip art comics, including his seminal My New Fighting Technique Is Unstoppable.
