An early Birthday present from Sarah, Tom does what he does best here,mixing the mundanity of daily existence with extraordinary circumstances. A pair of peeved astonauts stuck with each other for company on an Alien world. Masked wrestlers trying to have a day out without being recognised. Low key but witty in its execution and beautifully composed.
Simone Lia's niave drawing style is always(for me) a pleasure to look at. Her humour is more surreal(woman wants to go out with a fence....? A prudish sweetcorn kernel..) This book also contains the first appearance of Fluffy the Rabbit who thinks his/her owner is its daddy. Fluffy got a book all of it's own in 2007,which I recommend reading also.
BOTH is out of print now but you can still pick up a copy on Amazon if you've got a spare fiver and don't mind second hand.
My apologies for the fuzzy picture edges but the book was slightly to big to fit on the scanner without overhang,hence out of focus at extremities.
