A propos du livre

Revue de presse

'Here we see our own world and our slavery within it: from the inanities of hucksterism, to the slugs that inhabit our kitchens in the still of the night, in Emerson's vision, as large as cats. Real cats, that is; cartoon cats are larger than life.' - --Nicholas Lezard, The Guardian

'Initially, Emerson's drawings seem like straightforward blocks of black and white. However, they burst with detail; backgrounds change wildly from frame to frame, another nod to Herriman, but also cumulatively provide the dizzying effect of a Tex Avery animation... Emerson's visual imagination is so hard to contain that he can draw a face as a couple of splots of paint and get away with it.... an imaginative tour de force.'- The Guardian

'Calculus Cat is ridiculous slapstick writ large, but it's ridiculous slapstick with depth, an assault on the mass media culture, on the continual commercialisation of our lives. It's a brilliantly funny piece of work.' - --Forbidden Planet International

Présentation de l'éditeur

Calculus Cat's home life is locked in an in-tense, argumentative relationship with his TV set, which bedevils him with commercials for Skweeky Weets-the world's most asinine breakfast cere-al. His """"job"""" is no better. He is forced to run thought the streets sporting his famous grin as The Public shout abuse and throw rubbish. His world is graphic, black and white, jagged, full in, weird, speedy and loud-everything a comic should be!
