The Listening Agent by Joe Decie

by Joe Decie

Smudging the line between reality and fiction.Whether he’s contemplating the emotional state of the last pickle in the jar or detailling his four-year-old son’s new business of running a fashionable East London tattoo parlour, there’s definitely something different about Joe Decie’s tales of everyday life.In this new collection of half-embellished tales, Decie takes a sideways look at everything from shopping malls to identity theft and reveals the strange challenges (and stranger rewards) of parenthood. In this volume, Decie’s son competes with his father for centre stage and stars in some of the cartoonist’s funniest and most touching strips yet.If you’re still yet to join the legion of readers around the world who have fallen in love with Joe Decie’s left-field wit and beautiful ink-washed art, The Listening Agent is the perfect opportunity to see one of Britain’s brightest new comic stars at work. Don’t miss out.

[Joe Decie · Rating 5 out of 5]

I really liked this book. Of all the books I've drawn, I liked this one the most, until I drew the next one.

Maybe I shouldn't have done an orange cover, I don't know what I was thinking with that.

Disclaimer: This is my book. Five Stars because it's important not to put yourself down. Anyway, I did genuinely enjoy reading it. well done me.

I don't think goodreads should let me review my own books.

To start, I just want to say that I am the fourth person to rate this book on Goodreads and the first to write an opinion.

This book was great! I love Decie's short snippets and imaginative slice of life style. It's so much fun to read and enjoy his work. If you want a taste of it, visit his website. It'll make your day.
