Modern Toss [Paperback]

Jon Link (Author), Mick Bunnage (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: November 7, 2006

CAUTION:

MODERN TOSS'S SIDE EFFECTS MAY INCLUDE LAUGHING YOUR ARSE OFF AND POSSIBLY EVEN PISSING YOURSELF. IF LAUGHTER PERSISTS, THESE EFFECTS COULD BE SYMPTOMATIC OF A DANGEROUSLY HEIGHTENED SENSE OF HUMOR.

In your hand is a cartoon book the likes of nothing you've ever read before. Modern Toss has become a phenomenal smash hit in the United Kingdom and only now has it been officially released from the clutches of the British Empire for an American audience to enjoy.

Featuring abusive sign writer Mr. Tourette and a load of other poorly adjusted, pointlessly hostile idiots, this hilariously crafted comic has surpassed the cutting edge of the contemporary humor scene. Modern Toss is a bona fide classic that makes a welcome addition to the library of the avant-garde.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Modern Toss is the only thing in life that brings me any joy. I don't even know what to compare it to, but this book makes me really happy. What the f!#% is wrong with the English people anyway?"

-- Bobcat Goldthwait

"Modern Toss should dispel any lingering stereotypes about the British being more polite and civilized than we are."

-- Andy Borowitz, The Borowitz Report

This review is from: Modern Toss (Paperback)

"Irreverent" is putting it lightly. This book will be offensive to some, but it's also surprising and hilarious. It's a series of mostly one-page comics, kind of in the Matt Groening "Life In Hell" vein. It's slightly more twisted, however.

For example, (my personal favorite) a painter named Mr. Tourette's who gets hired to paint innocuous slogans on various things -- signs, banners, etc. and always ends up painting something much, much, much, much ... worse. You'll just have to check it out; it's much funnier than I'm portraying it. Think of it as a darker and more profane "Life In Hell."
