	Get Your War On - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Get Your War On uses clip-art pictures combined with dialogue that is highly politicized and often sarcastic.
		Get Your War On is a series of satirical comic strips by David Rees about political topics — originally the effects of the September 11, 2001 attacks on New York City but quickly switching focus to more recent ones, in particular the "War on Terrorism".
		Get Your War On has been published in book form, with the author's royalties (as well as part of the publisher's income for the first book) donated to landmine clearing efforts.

	The Austin Chronicle Arts: Review - Get Your War On
		In the stage version of Get Your War On, as in the comic strip it's based on, these pent-up feelings are let fly in all their fl rage and with a fl humor that brings laughter up from the gut with them.
		For someone whose opposition to the war may have been muted by equivocation or a misplaced desire for civility in public discourse, hearing these uncensored and unrepentant declarations of what we've felt all along but held in can be a striking release, a liberation of one's political soul in a cleansing explosion of laughter.
		Get Your War On gives us a fresh reminder of the outrages of the past four years and a fresh injection of the outrage we may have lost.

		E-mails proliferated around the country as people, alternately thrilled or disgusted by Get Your War On—as Rees entitled his depiction of the violence of the War on Terrorism begotten of violence of Terrorism itself—forwarded the URL to their friends.
		The nameless characters are at turns skeptical about the War on Terrorism; scared for their own safety in an age of anthrax scares and terror alerts; hungry for revenge against Osama bin Laden; bitter about the exploitation of September 11th's horrors; and enthusiastic about the possibility of deadening their pain with alcohol.
		Get Your War On is therefore a deeply personal diary of the year that followed the attacks on the World Trade Center.

	The Friday Review: Get Your War On
		If you've read the online strips before, you'll know that GET YOUR WAR ON is pretty much a one trick pony: Rees's static panels feature antiseptic, 1970s style renderings of office workers talking on the phone, discussing current events in a cynical, expletive-laden dialogue.
		GET YOUR WAR ON reads like the diary of a man left in shock by the world-changing events that occurred on September 11th, 2001.
		GET YOUR WAR ON is a very personal attempt by one man to understand the unfamiliar and deeply troubling world he one day quite suddenly found himself living in; something everyone affected by 9/11 has had to do in their own way.

		When other people started getting into it they would write me and say, "You know this is how my friends and I have been talking -- we didn't think that anyone else was having these conversations." The strength of the strip wasn't that it promoted a radical new point of view or anything.

	Internet Comic Strip 'Get Your War On' Goes 3-D on Stage - washingtonpost.com
		Indeed, "Get Your War On," which was workshopped in spring 2005 and premiered in Austin last winter, clocks in at the Mechs' standard 65 minutes.
		Assignments seem to fall into place naturally; Lynn spearheads the writing, "Get Your War On" director Shawn Sides generally directs, etc. (Lynn's "The Method Gun," also directed by Sides, is on the Mechs' slate for next spring.) But the situation is always fluid, which also goes for other members of the Rude Mechs' 21-member ensemble.
		The spartan "Get Your War On" is an exception.

		All of the strips are on politics, almost always foreign policy - as the title suggests, the war on terror is the main focus.
		If you're a conservative who found that to be a pile of crap, then definitely avoid this book, because it is pretty much all scathing criticism of the Bush administration.
		A couple other factors that might influence your purchasing decision: this is also not a book for those who feel uncomfortable/offended by lots of swearing.

		I hate to think what running GET YOUR WAR ON cost him, because people swarmed on it in their hundreds of thousands.
