  Top5 Celebrity Guest Host -- Tom Tomorrow
Tom Tomorrow -- or Dan Perkins, as he is known in a parallel universe -- plays no favorites, skewering both the left and the right and everything in between, gleefully holding politicians up to the bright light of scrutiny.
Tomorrow commented, "[The magazine's readers] wrote in all these letters complaining that I was biased, as if a political cartoon should be anything but one man's biases and opinions.
Tom Tomorrow has a development deal with Saturday Night Live and has four paperback collections of his strips in bookstores, including his latest, Penguin Soup for the Soul.

 Tom Tomorrow, Author of "This Modern World" - A BuzzFlash Interview
Tom has a new collection of cartoons out called "The Great Big Book of Tomorrow: A Treasury of Cartoons." The Forward to the book answers the question, "Who is Tom Tomorrow," in more ways than one.
TOMORROW: Well, they choose to watch Fox as their primary news source because they believe that the other sources of news are too biased.
TOMORROW: There was one that showed a woman coughing, and the slogan was: "He won’t love you if you cough." That was a real advertisement.

 CNN - Salon review: 'Penguin Soup for the Soul' - September 25, 1998
Tom Tomorrow is indeed, as Kurt Vonnegut has put it, "the wry voice of American common sense," but he clearly (and happily) isn't ready for the mainstream.
Tomorrow's new collection of literate, deadpan, leftist cartoons, "Penguin Soup for the Soul," is his best yet.
Tomorrow brings back his regular cast of characters -- Sparky the Wonder Penguin (the smartest, nastiest cartoon beast around) and Biff and Betty -- in cartoons that riff on the strange days we've found ourselves living through.

 Metroactive News & Issues | Tom Tomorrow
Tom Tomorrow in the Flesh: Even in action figure mode, our hero's pen is mightier than the sword.
Adopting the retro-futuristic monicker Tom Tomorrow, he was soon creating the clip-art transfigurations of reviled politicians that, along with a certain lovable penguin, would become his trademark.
Today, Tomorrow's This Modern World strip is in the upper echelon of America's most successfully syndicated "alternative" comics, a wistfully incisive indictment of our political culture that sometimes feels like the last bastion of critical thinking in an increasingly docile media environment.

Tom Tomorrow hits one home-run after another as he chronicles the worst years of our lives and our country as seen through the shades of Sparky the penguin.
No one is going to mistake Tom T's point of view as being anything other than left of center, or his cartoons as anything but a scathing critique of Bush and his fellow conservatives, frequently dead on.
Tom T is the political cartoonist that reafirms for me the old dictum: only the truth is funny.

In over 75 newspapers and magazines nationwide, Tom Tomorrow's wry commentary on the pervasive media and rampant consumerism, the "Generations X'ers" and the Baby Boomers, and the omni-present Rush Limbaugh and Barney the dinosaur, has shocked, enlightened, and entertained readers for the better...
Tom Tomorrow takes readers to a land where members of the 104th Congress are actually space aliens, President Clinton is (ahem!) somewhat ineffectual, and Rush Limbaugh's ravings are marvelously inaccurate.

 Tom Snyder - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tom Snyder (born May 12, 1936 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin) is an American television personality best known for The Tomorrow Show.
Tom himself referred to this occurrence on a 1981 followup appearance in which the Plasmatics demolished a car.
An older, slightly more mellow Tom returned to virtually the same format on ABC Radio in the late 1980s, then to television on CNBC in the early '90s, adding the opportunity for viewers to call in with their own questions for his guests.

Tom Tomorrow gathers his past cartoons, and plenty of rarely-seen or never-seen artwork also, into the first This Modern World compendium.
Tomorrow definitely sticks it to the right-wingers, but it's unfair to say that he is completely skewed to one side of the political spectrum, because he sometimes has less than complimentary commentary on Democrats as well.

 This Modern World by Tom Tomorrow: March 30, 2003 - April 05, 2003 Archives
With the tenacity of a pit bull--or, at least, a very angry yorkie--Sullivan continues to try to spin the non-story of the missing words "a bit" into a scandal which undermines the very credibility of that damned newspaper which no longer runs his work.
And see, that's called "journalism." The job of the journalist in a free society is--at least theoretically--not to report what the government would like us to believe; it is to try to give us some understanding of what is actually happening in the world.
They bring you along incrementally, and like the frog in the saucepan of water which is slowly being heated to a boil, you don't even notice what's happening.

 HELL IN A HANDBASKET - Tom Tomorrow - Penguin Books
Images inspired by vintage American advertising, science fiction, and Norman Rockwell idylls are, in his hands, the means by which to keep laughing instead of crying at the feral descent of our politics and culture.
In his weekly cartoon strip, This Modern World, "Tom Tomorrow uses images traced from photographic references (running from 1950s advertising art to recent shots of politicians) and a multipaneled comic-strip format to create a distinctive kind of postmodern editorial cartoon," writes Booklist.
This collection is the very first to present Tom Tomorrow's work in full color, as he originally produces his cartoons.

He cited a press conference by an anti-war group called 9/11 Families for Peaceful Tomorrows and noted the event involved Moveon.org, which is running ads bashing Bush.
Tom Roger, whose daughter was a flight attendant on doomed American Airlines Flight 11, said most of the families who complained were upset by what they say is Bush's unwillingness to cooperate with the commission investigating the pre-9/11 intelligence.
Actually, nowhere in her WSJ editorial does Debra Burlingame point out that "many of the Peaceful Tomorrows families have no problem with or even support the Bush/Cheney spots." Maybe Sauders should ease up on the perms because I think some of those chemicals are soaking through her skull casing.

 Spinsanity - Countering rhetoric with reason
In his newest syndicated cartoon, Tom Tomorrow purports to set the record straight on the circumstances under which United Nations weapons inspectors left Iraq in 1998.
While Tomorrow is right to point out that inspectors were not technically expelled by Saddam -- as a number of media outlets have inaccurately reported -- he and others omit crucial context when they imply that the inspectors simply withdrew of their own accord.
Clarification - 11/19 5:18 PM EST: As Tomorrow points out (along with several readers), I should have noted that Saddam objected to the presence of American spies in UN inspection teams in 1998, a charge that was documented in subsequent media reports in the US press.

 This Modern World
Sixteen (sic) Saudi Arabian prisoners were sent home earlier in the week, and another 85 prisoners of various nationalities have been designated for transfer to their countries, some for continued detention and some for outright release.
The story told through those records and interviews illuminates the haphazard system of detention and prosecution that has evolved in Iraq, where detainees are often held for long periods without charges or legal representation, and where the authorities struggle to sort through the endless stream of detainees to identify those who pose real threats.
General Augusto Pinochet, who escaped earthly justice on December 10, was detained in London in 1999 awaiting a ruling by a British court on whether he would be extradited to Spain on a Spanish judge’s warrant to face charges of crimes against humanity committed during his rule in Chile from 1973 to 1990.
