| What possesses people to write their Christmas newsletters as if from their dead cat; or to tell friends and family that the septic tank was emptied in June?

Serious Drawings | |||
| Miscellaneous | ||||
| Marc Johns | ||||
| teNeues 2009 144 pages | ||||
| Hardback Illustrated 3832793143 | ||||
| Published Price £12.50 | Our Price £5.99 | |||
| From the quirky mind of Marc Johns comes this volume of whimsical sketches and the very driest of wit. People with branches growing out of their heads, a pipe that's trying to quit smoking, a skateboarding sandpiper... Johns's relentlessly blank-faced characters are simple, sparsely drawn expressions of a kind of skewed thinking reminiscent of Edward Monkton or Spike Milligan. | ||||
