Asylum Earth
In Asylum Earth, nothing is quite as it seems. Toulouse-Lautrec shares a room with El Greco in "Art Heaven," while back among the living, an irate "Letter to the Editor" demands that someone go in and finish "all those impressionist paintings - why leave just an impression?" Irreverent and brilliantly funny, Bragg brings us a view of his own special reality - and sheds new light on what we know of our own. Witticisms, satire, and irony abound, and no profession or institution escapes Bragg's sharp eye. Often compared to Daumier, Nast, and Bosch, Bragg is a master of observation. Once our human frailties are scrutinized by his myopic gaze, we may never see ourselves in quite the same way again! Illustrated throughout with Bragg's paintings and etchings.

A very, very funny, sometimes sad, sometimes mind blowing. A good read.
