Lady Chatterley's Lover

by Hunt Emerson (Illustrator), D.H. Lawrence

Lady Chatterley's Lover has been notorious since it was written. Banned for 30 years it was published unexpurgated, by Penguin Books in 1960 and immediately became the first novel charged under the newly written Obscene Publications Act. The famous story of life, love and society in 1920s England, re-worked as an hilarious comic book by 'Britain's zaniest cartoonist' Hunt Emerson.

Does Not Seem At All Scandalous ( ? ) !

I’m very curious as to how accurate this rendering is ?
What qualifies as untowards these days ?
Given The basic story construction, I can’t see how anything socially jazz band could creep into it ?
I was recently reading another book that was banned from civilization,& couldn’t find anything in it remotely objectionable, I very much suspect that such literature found to be objectionable is Not in The volume itself, but entirely in The critical perception, then propagated outward from there ! ?

Emerson's class based caricatures mine a long tradition of British anti-eroticism; his depictions of a world of throbbing lust getting an eye roll from passing beasts nudge this into more interesting territory.

<-----FIX THE PICTURE!!!

Hunt can fit more funny on a page than anyone alive or dead!

Riotous belly laugh out loud hysterical!

En ole lukenut alkuperäisteosta ja tämän perusteella tuskin luenkaan. Oli harvinaisen rasittavaa ja täyteenahdettua piirrosjälkeä, en kyllä tykännyt yhtään.

[Al McCarty]

An extraordinary work of brilliant cartooning.

[P.J. Sullivan]

This review pertains to the comic book version by Hunt Emerson, not to the classic book it satirizes.

A funny book with appropriately bizarre artwork by Hunt Emerson. A satire on a classic book. A sense of humor (or humour) is required of the reader. This is a cartoon version, not to be taken too seriously, but it follows the plot of the original. The artwork is outstanding.

Olin kokonaan unohtanut, kuinka hyvä tämä Emersonin näkemys Chatterleystä oli. Tai sitten en ollu tykännyt siitä. Mutta hyvä tämä oli. Hauska ja komeasti kuvitattu.
