    Winners and Losers: Heretical Cartoons about the American Religion of Winning

    “Winning is not the most important thing, it’s the only thing.” If we have a national creed, that’s it. We care only about the winners: the most successful, brilliant, beautiful, talented, or charming among us. They matter, their faults are tolerated, their kindness exaggerated, and their companionship sought. Losers live in a different world.

    This book of cartoons and aphorisms is a tale of the two worlds – how people are selected for each world and how they live once they’re there. If you’re a winner, read this book, and thank God you got what you deserve because you’re an American. If you’re a loser, read this book and become an American heretic. Or if you’re not ready to give up the American religion, you will be able to find comfort in company and learn the tried and true methods of coping.

    ABOUT AUTHOR 

    After retiring from a career as a medical researcher, Arthur Hartz worked with a team of artists to produce a series of cartoon books, the Slings and Arrows of Mundane Fortune. Slings and arrows in the title of this series refers to the daily attacks most people face on their self-esteem and relationships. From a distance these attacks are interesting and often funny. Four books have been completed with cartoons and aphorisms grouped according to the sources of the slings and arrows:

    1. Winners and Losers, Heretical Cartoons About the American Religion of Winning

    2. The Autumn Years, Cartoons from the Front Lines of the Battle Against Aging

    3. Love and Marriage, Cartoons About Imperfect People Managing Their Most Important Relationship

    4. Friendship, How Hard Can That Be

    The talented artistic team for the series of cartoon books includes Aleksandar Jovic from Serbia, Mike Wolfe from Salt Lake City, and Heroud Ramos from Peru. Hartz describes what he wants, the artists draw what they like, and then they work it out — amicably.

    Dr. Hartz was born in Baltimore; raised in Farmington, New Mexico, and worked in medical schools in Milwaukee, Iowa City, and Salt Lake City. Currently he and his wife, Ellen, live in St. Louis. He enjoys his grandchildren and talking to people in Latin America who can tolerate his Spanish.
