520 8  "Two years after he published 'The Underground Sketchbook'
       in 1964, Tomi Ungerer conceived 'The Party', a take-down 
       of the super-rich as savage as anything George Grosz or 
       Ralph Steadman put on paper. The premise of the book is a 
       party in the Hamptons attended by a coterie of fat cats: 
       captains of industry, tycoons, magnates, and moguls, 
       luxuriating in their tuxedos, evening gowns, and prattling
       small talk. The party was given by Mrs. Julia Van Flooze, 
       summer resident of East Hampton Long Island. Known for her
       charity works, she gave the party to celebrate the return 
       of Senator Leonard Rockfenter from a fact-finding trip in 
       the Orient. And so, it begins: Ungerer takes acid pen in 
       hand to depict a succession of smug, bloated, drooling, 
       lascivious, ostentatious monsters. The reader encounters 
       one grotesquerie after another as bigwigs and power 
       couples cavort through the haze of booze and caviar, 
       revealing their base natures and hedonistic libidinal 
       impulses. Each Ungerer drawing is a masterpiece of 
       hideousness, accompanied by a marvelously droll caption. 
       In 'The Party', Ungerer unleashes one of the most caustic 
       moral imaginations of any cartoonist, each slashing ink 
       line dipped in scorn. Featuring an introduction by the 
       fiery political cartoonist Mr. Fish."--Provided by 
       publisher.
