David Rees Gets His Satire On

Friday March 19, 2004
David Rees caught the public's attention shortly after 9/11, when he began posting Get Your War On, a clipart based comic strip featuring cubicle employees talking on the telephone about the bombing of Afghanistan. Since then, Rees's profanely acerbic figures have addressed the search for Weapons of Mass Destruction, the liberation of Iraq, and George Bush's plans to send astronauts to Mars. And their sarcastic insights have struck a chord with a large part of the population that grows increasingly concerned with the administration's actions.

I spoke with David Rees about his start as a comic writer, GYWO, and his charitable work in Afghanistan with the Adopt-A-Minefield program.
