"A personal message from the author: WEAK MESSAGES CREATE BAD SITUATIONS. STRONG MESSAGES CREATE GOOD SITUATIONS. We are in a bad situation and weak messages are to blame. Lots of individuals in society today are feeble-minded. They don't know what the HELL is going on. Unfortunately many of these people are responsible for running THE COUNTRY. They don't know the difference between a PRECIOUS JEWEL and a piece of animal turd. Their ideas are MEANINGLESS, illustrated using RUBBISH imagery (often made by a computer). The stupid words they write are always in BAD FONTS. Yet still people HEED this nonsense. Maybe YOU are one of these people? It's alright. I am here to HELP you. I have a FULLY-COMPOSED WORLD VIEW. I have STRONG opinions about EVERYTHING. And my ideas are HAND-ILLUSTRATED and use REAL HANDWRITING that you can trust. I know exactly what's going on and am WILLING to share my thoughts with you. If you LISTEN to what I say then things will quickly improve. No more weak messages. No more bad situations. Shall we proceed?"--back cover.

'Ich bin ein ekelhafter Mensch mit Sinn für Humor' David Shrigley Tiefe Weisheit und schallendes Gelächter: David Shrigley ist einer der originellsten zeitgenössischen Künstler. Wir zeigen seine besten Bilder und Texte. Seine Bilder sind bizarr, abgründig, albern, tieftraurig, voller Schalk. Und sie sind vor allem eines: unverwechselbar. David Shrigley, ein Held des schwarzen Humors und ein Star der Indie-Szene, hat eine Botschaft, auch wenn diese oft mit einem hintergründigen Grinsen daherkommt. Jedes seiner scheinbar nur hingekritzelten Bilder birgt eine überraschende und erhellende Perspektive - es ist, als würde man in einen Abgrund blicken und dabei schallend lachen. Launenhaft und unberechenbar setzt er ein Universum aus kleinen Bausteinen zusammen und führt uns die Absurdität menschlicher Existenz vor Augen. Mit speziell für diese Ausgabe in deutscher Sprache konzipierten Arbeiten.
