The Very Best of The Common Man features a collection of the various cartoons that were created by the master cartoonist, R K Laxman. The common man is a famous cartoon caricature that was consistently used throughout this cartoonist's works. These cartoons depict various socio-political situations from the perspective of the common man who lives everywhere in India. Political uncertainty, economic calamities, widespread corruption and middle-class angst are some of the themes used in these cartoons.

A witty look at the strange world of politics by our best-loved cartoonist This exhilarating collection by R.K. Laxman takes a humorous look at the colourful personalities, peculiar codes of conduct and bombastic rhetoric that characterize the inimitable world of politics. A Vote for Laughter contains a hundred of the classic Common Man cartoons that have to do with political subjects, from party meetings, election campaigns and VVIP movements to cabinet reshuffles, horse trading and foreign tours, not to forget the activity that for Laxman defines the Indian politician: the impulse to rush to the well of the House. These are accompanied by a hundred of the funniest jokes about politics and politicians, collected from all over the world. A Vote for Laughter will entertain everyone who enjoys seeing the farcical streak in our contemporary politics, even as we take pride in being the largest democracy in the world.

From financial crises to the woes of householders, from political instability to rampant corruption, Laxman's cartoons capture the entire gamut of contemporary Indian experience. Hilarious and thought-provoking at the same time, this is a treasure house of humour from one of the most striking voices commenting on Indian socio-political life today. This is a revised edition of the original published in 1998.
