Reissue of these bizarre and hilarious cartoons and writings by a popular TV actor and comedian.
Alexei Sayle's Great Bus Journeys of the World - a howlingly funny miscellany with surprisingly little to do with buses - first appeared as a regular column in Time Out. Now this reissue brings to light once again the comic gifts and cartooning talents of the professional fat bloke. In a startling combination of anarchic humour, trenchant philosophy and deep political analysis, he explores the depths of his minefield psyche through such eccentric devices as an ode to Doris Lessing, tutorials on writing jokes, and a safety notice which no-one who has ever made a purchase from the Nagasaki Futon Company can afford to miss. This is a startling tour of an endlessly inventive imagination - and a boon to eel-fanciers everywhere. "The only unpredictable column I ever got hooked on was Alexei Sayle's 'Great Bus Journeys' in Time Out. A paperback edition has just appeared, all of it good, and some near genius" (Miles Kington)
