Love & Vermin: A Collection of Cartoons by The New Yorker’s Will McPhail
£18.99
With his shrewd eye for mundane absurdities and hysterically astute drawings of animals, Will McPhail is one of Britain’s most distinctive young cartoonists. His cartoons delight in the everyday anxieties of modern life, skewer contemporary politics, and cut to the core of the most bizarre human behaviours. Now, in McPhail’s first collection, new cartoons mix with old favourites: mischievous mice and opportunistic pigeons offer portals into McPhail’s crackling curiosity, while Lady No-Kids’ adventures continue with high-flying glee. With chapters ranging from the contemporary to the universal, and a classic black and white interior that evokes the timelessness of the craft, ‘Love & Vermin’ proves why Will McPhail is one of the most cherished cartoonists of his generation.
The hilarious and insightful first collection by Will McPhail, author of In. and cartoonist for the New Yorker.
