More Description2020 is the year that everybody wants to forget. But that is precisely why cartoonist Ron Hill has gathered every single editorial cartoon he published (as well as a number of concept sketches) in that very extraordinary year. On January 1, 2020, Hill introduced his readers in four northeast Ohio newspapers to BB BluesBird, the intended spokesperson for local issues such as zoning and tax abatement. Little did Hill and BB know that in a couple short months everybody's world would be upended by little old SARS-CoV-2, more commonly known as Covid-19. The pandemic, economic impacts, social awakening, the presidential election and accompanying hi jinx?it's all here in BB BluesBird and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Year. The book includes a foreword detailing BB's background by award-winning American Splendor cartoonist Gary Dumm, who collaborated with Hill on BB's earlier comix adventures, and an insightful introduction and afterword placing BB in context with our new world by publishers James O'Hara and Jaime Lombardo, respectively. So, 2020 is in the record books, but there is still much that we must learn form that terrible, horrible, no good, very bad year.Ron Hill has been contributing editorial cartoons for 21 years to The Chagrin Valley Times, The Solon Times, Geauga Times Courier and West Life. He has published two previous collections: Edutoons (2016) and The Usual Suspects (2019).
