More Lost Consonants

by Graham Rawle

Meet Bob, concerned about his "low perm count", the man who "got cod feet", and the husband who was "particularly fond of his wife's home-made rifle" in Graham Rawle's zany world of lost consonants. By the removal of one vital letter in an otherwise familiar phrase, Rawle creates a series of funny, yet unsettling pictures, in which police attach wheel lamps to cars to deter illigal parking, dogs start baking when the door bell rings, and widow shopping in a normal way to spend your afternoon off.

Reviews

[Adrian · Rating 3 out of 5]

A funny little charity shop find of simple phrases with a simple constantan missing. Graham Rawle then illustrates the new scene with humorous effect.

Slightly dated, especially when John Major appears! 3 1/2 stars
