Tired of America Being Politically Divided? Let Two Partisan Idiots Show How We Can All Get Along in This New Uproarious Graphic Novel

By: PRLog

Two Adversaries Release a New Outrageously Funny Politically Charged Graphic Novel that Looks at Our Government from a Fresh Perspective for Any Political Enthusiasts – Worn-out to Newbies

FLEMINGTON, N.J. - Feb. 15, 2022 - PRLog -- Author, Illustrator and Partners, Bob Benjamin and Al Kratzer released a newly expanded edition of Head2Head, a politically charged cartoon graphic novel, that focuses on the ridiculousness of real-life partisan politics. Friends since meeting at the bus stop the first day of kindergarten yet, to this day, friends who maintain complete opposite views on just about every contentious issue America is facing, the two, long ago, discovered that for the sake of their friendship – and the sake of our country – compromises are necessary. This is the essence of Head2Head.

"It's truly sad, how in today's world, family members can't sit at the dinner table and talk politics. Holiday visits have been affected, and they can't even decide who to invite to their son's wedding," says Kratzer. "The media only makes things worse by trying to influence our thinking, dreaming up stories rather than report what's really happening out there. What we've come to understand is that the best solutions to our country's problems lie somewhere towards the center."

This book is the result of numerous heated arguments between the authors who eventually decided that Americans like them need to laugh in between bouts. Readers will be able to understand this humorous approach to society's hot topics, whether they are worn out by tweets and talk shows or just don't know what to believe anymore.

"Laughter is still the medicine to heal anything, including the large rift dividing our nation today," says Benjamin. "Americans can agree that our form of government is the worst in the world – except for all the rest. What we do here is take an issue, any issue, and look at it from the radical right, then do the same from the lunatic left. Neither one works. It's only when compromises come into play that things get done. In Head2Head, the issues are resolved with maddening, improbable, yet simple solutions.

This book will entertain anyone who, when it comes to politics:
Can admit they have a problem.
Regains the ability to laugh at him/herself.
Doesn't throw Molotov cocktails.
Understands the one they hate isn't the first politician to lie.
Wonders why those elected to Congress can't focus on anything other than getting reelected.

Readers will enjoy leafing through beautifully illustrated pages of the uproarious life lessons of co-joined twins (Buck & Lefty), a disastrous creation by "Algo," a brilliant, billionaire disrupter/scientist who seeks control of the U.S. Government. These raucous misadventures will have you laughing throughout the book.

Head2Head: A Political Cartoon Graphic Novel - {ISBN 978-0-578-87958-1-51495 published by Head2Head Studios} can be purchased at Amazon, Barnes & Noble and other fine booksellers everywhere. Go to https://www.amazon.com/Head2Head-Political-Cartoon-Graphic-Novel/dp/0578879581 to learn more.

Before embarking on a 20-year career in Web Design/Marketing/Sales/Training & Management in the newspaper business, Al Kratzer's political cartoons appeared in The New York Times, The Philadelphia Inquirer, and most New Jersey area papers. His sports cartoons were featured on Sports Illustrated's first website, SIonline.com., Reuter's SportsWeb site, and in The Ring magazine. (Al may hold the distinction of being the only political cartoonist who became a newspaper publisher since Benjamin Franklin.)

Soon after college, Bob Benjamin moved to Washington to work in the office of a Republican Congressman, where he gained first-hand knowledge of the political scene. From there, he relocated to New York City and began a career as a media buyer and account manager. In their heyday he managed television advertising accounts for Carvel, Lawn Doctor, Sergio Valente... He then joined a successful 3rd generation family business and was elected president, a position he held for 20 years. He has served on numerous business boards and is a long-time beloved Special Olympics coach.

Both men have "confronted" one-another in newspapers and on radio shows, generating a lot of laughs. If interested in a book signing, "debate" for your program or podcast or in-person/virtual speaking engagement, feel free to contact them through their website www.head2head.studio.
