Steven Appleby's Loomus cartoons are, for me, a weekly delight in the
Guardian newspaper. So it was particularly wonderful to receive the review copy of
Steven Appleby's Guide to Life published by
Guardian Books.
Appleby manages to encapsulate in a
few frames what it might take a
writer a chapter or two to explain! From "
Save money on an out-of-season beach holiday" to "
Identity Thief!" these
cartoons will cheer you up and have you smiling wryly if not
laughing out loud!
Loomus is the
child from hell – in which there is or was a little bit of
all of us. His
actions will have you
cringing in acknowledgment or
sighing in relief that he isn't your child!
Steven Appleby's Guide to Life makes the perfect gift for
Loomus fans and anyone who'd love this
hilariously perceptive guide to life. A
fabulous book to dip into whenever you need to
lift your spirits.
