Reception

Tony Medley gave it a score of 7 out of 10, calling it "interesting", but "politically biased". [5]

Alissa Wilkinson of The New York Times wrote, "[W]here A Savage Art really shines is when it traces the discipline of political cartooning and the satirical edge it's brought to journalism and commentary for centuries." [3]
