  <description><![CDATA[Pop artist David Shrigley's work is immediate, sometimes rude, and very funny, &quot;like a psychotic version of Matt Groening's 'Life in Hell' cartoons&quot; (<em>The Guardian</em>). His darkly brilliant, addictively hilarious scrawls from the subconscious have already made him a star in the UK, with a growing legion of fans around the globe. <em>The Book of Shrigley</em> is the most extensive and the first widely available showcase of his edgy but accessible off-kilter vision. Here are bad-tempered pets, strange attractions, work, S-E-X, knitting, wrestling, and a host of other everyday activities, dangers, and amusements laid bare in Shrigley's urgently illustrated panels and wickedly mischievous punch lines. Made up of almost entirely new work and bursting with color and unsettlingly funny truths, <em>The Book of Shrigley</em> is the ideal introduction to this comic genius and the book fans have been waiting for.]]></description>

    <body><![CDATA[<br/>Many people would not like this based on the style of drawings. Which are often scriblish. that is a real word, huh. but, man. surreal without just being odd for the sake of it, childlike without being simplified, Shrigley exposes greater truths with just a couple lines and a few bits of text....<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/5257201">more...</a>]]></body>

    <![CDATA[Pop artist David Shrigley's work is immediate, sometimes rude, and very funny, &quot;like a psychotic version of Matt Groening's 'Life in Hell' cartoons&quot; (<em>The Guardian</em>). His darkly brilliant, addictively hilarious scrawls from the subconscious have already made him a star in the UK, with a growing legion of fans around the globe. <em>The Book of Shrigley</em> is the most extensive and the first widely available showcase of his edgy but accessible off-kilter vision. Here are bad-tempered pets, strange attractions, work, S-E-X, knitting, wrestling, and a host of other everyday activities, dangers, and amusements laid bare in Shrigley's urgently illustrated panels and wickedly mischievous punch lines. Made up of almost entirely new work and bursting with color and unsettlingly funny truths, <em>The Book of Shrigley</em> is the ideal introduction to this comic genius and the book fans have been waiting for.]]>

    <body><![CDATA[There's some great bits in here. It's not really a sit-down/slog-through one, but if you're feeling inarticulately grumpy or, god forbid, discombobulated, it's a good I Ching kind of toy. Randomly open it and you'll both laugh and cringe. There are a few good tattoo ideas in there, like &quot;Depth&quot;...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/46205748">more...</a>]]></body>

Then I read the reviews on the back and it likenend this author's work to Matt Groening's Life in Hell series. That makes sense, I don't get the LIH series either. I guess this just isn't my type of humor.]]></body>

    <![CDATA[Pop artist David Shrigley's work is immediate, sometimes rude, and very funny, &quot;like a psychotic version of Matt Groening's 'Life in Hell' cartoons&quot; (<em>The Guardian</em>). His darkly brilliant, addictively hilarious scrawls from the subconscious have already made him a star in the UK, with a growing legion of fans around the globe. <em>The Book of Shrigley</em> is the most extensive and the first widely available showcase of his edgy but accessible off-kilter vision. Here are bad-tempered pets, strange attractions, work, S-E-X, knitting, wrestling, and a host of other everyday activities, dangers, and amusements laid bare in Shrigley's urgently illustrated panels and wickedly mischievous punch lines. Made up of almost entirely new work and bursting with color and unsettlingly funny truths, <em>The Book of Shrigley</em> is the ideal introduction to this comic genius and the book fans have been waiting for.]]>
