The ''Attitude'' series of books is a series of anthologies of alternative comics, photos and artists' interviews edited by Universal Press Syndicate editorial cartoonist Ted Rall. The books were designed by J. P. Trostle, news editor of EditorialCartoonists.com. Two sequels and three spin-off titles have been published to date. A group of cartoonists featured in the Attitude series formed the organization Cartoonists With Attitude in June 2006; the group hosts slideshow and panel events around the country to promote the series and alternative political cartooning.〔() E&P Staff (June 12, 2007) "Cartoonists With Attitude Coming to DC" ''Editor and Publisher''.〕 Ted Rall created the compilation with the intention of publishing artists who were hard-up for work or otherwise had difficulties relating to the public. ==Attitude: The New Subversive Political Cartoonists== ''Attitude: The New Subversive Political Cartoonists'' focuses on cartoonists whose work appears in alternative weekly newspapers with a view toward defining a new genre of political comics that, in Rall's words, are "too alternative for the mainstream and too mainstream for the underground." The Minneapolis ''Star Tribune'' wrote: "Some of the cartoons are type-dominated (Don Asmussen's); many are not artistically pleasing; several would not pass the standards for a family newspaper."〔Armstrong, Robert (July 21, 2002). "Paperbacks; Subversive cartoonists brandish drawing power". ''Star Tribune''. Pg. 15F〕 "There is moral rage, drama and righteousness that are both breezy and mortally serious," wrote The Baltimore Sun. "This is provocative, if often still rough and immature, stuff. And if history is still a guide, many of these artists will emerge as the best of the next generation of mainstream newspaper cartoonists."〔Pakenham, Michael (August 25, 2002). "Attitude: The New Subversive Political Cartoonists". ''The Baltimore Sun''. Pg. 9E〕 The American Library Association's Booklist wrote that "Whereas old-school editorial cartoonists rely on timeworn traditions, topics, and techniques, the new breed tackles contemporary concerns, such as commercialism and environmentalism ... Their drawings are usually subservient to their scripts, and both take a back seat to their attitude ... The best of them possess so much lacerating wit and unswerving commitment that they fairly shame their hidebound mainstream counterparts into retirement."〔Flagg, Gordon (September 1, 2002). "Attitude: the New Subversive Political Cartoonists". ''Booklist'', Pg. 36〕 ''Attitude: The New Subversive Political Cartoonists'' made ''The Progressives list of "Favorite books of 2002."〔Clinton, Kate, et al. (January 1, 2003).
