5.0 out of 5 stars He's done it again 12 Oct 2012
By A. G. Lester
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I co-authored a book with Steven, so I really shouldn't be surprised, but the combined Loomus cartoons in Guide to Life have got me all excited. Not just for the humour of the messages, not even for the wonky drawings that are hilarious in themselves, but for his depth of insight and subtle grasp of what we humans are like. He is sometimes referred to as an "absurdist", but I think he must know that taking something to extremes is the best way to reveal it. I'm buying lots of copies to send to my friends, while copies last.

Steven Appleby nails down with subtle accuracy the way we live now. He is also particularly sharp about cats and dogs.
