David Squires Livres

David is unparalleled in his ability to highlight how ridiculous modern football can often be with his unique brand of caustic satire. The Guardian

This is soccer comic-ery, but not as you know it. Welcome to the comically brilliant and politically engaging work of illustrator David Squires, artist extraordinaire. Soccer and comics. Once a hearty Saturday combination to match cartoons and cereal, in recent years they've drifted apart.Thankfully for us, David Squires is here to change all that. Based out of Sydney, his soccer comics have appeared everywhere from the Guardian to Pickles Magazine. In a sport full of handsome paychecks and corporate sponsors, his work casts a critical eye over corrupt backroom workings and helps pierce soccer's overblown balloon. This book is an anthology of some of David's best work. WARNING! Is sure to ignite debate and spark hilarity.

The book offers an in-depth exploration of Scotland's 349 view indicators, shedding light on their significance and often-overlooked details. It highlights the historical and cultural context of these features, enhancing readers' appreciation for Scotland's scenic landscapes. Each indicator is described, providing insights into their locations and the vistas they reveal, making it an essential resource for both locals and visitors interested in Scotland's natural beauty.

Featuring a collection of witty cartoons from the Guardian, this book showcases the most memorable and absurd moments in modern football. It combines humor and sharp commentary to reflect the chaos and unpredictability of the sport, making it a delightful read for fans and cartoon lovers alike.

From the ever-dizzying managerial roundabout to the absurd world of the transfer window, and from the true meaning of 'football heritage' to the annual tradition of poppygate, the result is a riotous reminder both of everything that's wrong with the modern game, and everything that keeps us coming back for more.
