Simon Drew Livres

Simon Drew's sense of humor is an acquired taste; it may be a moot point whether it is worth acquiring, yet thousands of fans around the world have clearly already succumbed to its questionable attractions. These converts will clearly appreciate this new and puzzling collection of nonsensical puzzles. This is a book to exasperate and annoy: the only way to solve the puzzle drawings is either to start with a warped mind or put yourself through such gymnastic mental contortions that your mind ends up warped and twisted as a result. The existing Drew devotees should find no problem with this. To offset these mindblowing puzzles this compilation also includes a selection of Drew's other pointless pictures accompanied by truly agonising verse. Whether this is to mitigate the unfortunate side effects of the puzzles or whether the puzzles are there to distract you from the verse is not made clear. Simon Drew enjoys a dedicated following of like-minded enthusiasts of bizarre humor and it is an ever gr

Simon Drew has compiled a series of poems, drawings and puns in this book that combine a sense of the ridiculous with a definite seriousness regarding our respect, or lack of it, for the countryside. He has always found that he has an irresistible urge to make fun of most things: this applies particularly to language which he sometimes twists in the same way that a crossword compiler does. However, as a keen observer of our environment, whether it is man-made or otherwise, it would have been hard for him to ignore the fact that humans have had a somewhat odd attitude to the animals and plants that we can (or could) find around us. To make his drawings Simon Drew has avoided the pitfalls of resorting to cartoons and makes the animals look like they really are, where possible! The result of this juxtaposition of quirky humour and semi-serious drawings is sometimes hilarious, sometimes provocative and sometimes just warped. This is his third book: the two previous ones are A Book of Bestial Nonsen

This collection centers around ducks. Simon Drew's pictorial menagerie is enlivened by the insistent and incessant quacking of demented ducks and drakes on the duckpond. A quack in time saves nothing.

Description A study of human fraility through the ages from the disaur to Hollywood via the Bayeux Tapestry and the Trojan Aardvark, with Shakespeare's lesser kwn pet -- the tortoise andronicus.

This may well be an address book but it is certainly unlike any other. Profusely illustrated throughout in full colour, it contains a delicious selection of Simon Drew's highly idiosyncratic drawings and accompanying written captions. Throughout this book there are countless distractions: this means that as you look up an address you will find yourself amazed at the drawings and quirky words and will soon discover that you have forgotten what you were doing in the first place. What could be more surprising than finding a mole wandering across Auntie Flo's address? Or maybe an earthworm writhing past a telephone number? Gifted with a quirky sense of fun and a lively imagination, Simon Drew interprets conventional words and phrases, situations and circumstances in pictures and prose. It is an address book designed to delight all those who enjoy verbal and pictorial puns.
