About the author

Glen Baxter (born 4 March 1944), nicknamed Colonel Baxter, is an English cartoonist, noted for his absurdist drawings and an overall effect often resembling literary nonsense.
Born in Leeds, Baxter was trained at the Leeds College of Art. His images and their corresponding captions employ art and language inspired by pulp fiction and adventure comics with intellectual jokes and references. His simple line-drawings often feature cowboys, gangsters, explorers and schoolchildren, who utter incongruous intellectual statements regarding art and philosophy.
Baxter's artwork has appeared in The New Yorker, Vanity Fair and The Independent on Sunday.

Reviews

[Martin Earl · Rating 4 out of 5]

A general delight.

[Kevin Hogan · Rating 3 out of 5]

I like Glen Baxter's work, but there is a certain sameness to it that creeps in if you read a lot of it at one time. This book has a bit less of that sameness.
