About this title

Synopsis

In this mock autobiographical collection, Shrigley's mischievous drawings capture life's anxieties and ambitions from the mundane to the surreal. Here, at last, is the truth about beer, doctors, shadow puppets, lunch, dolphins, boredom, and supernatural forces. Seductively strange and addictively amusing, this edgy little book welcomes the uninitiated and rewards the faithful.
