Cartoons that make Charlie Brooker look like Richard Stilgoe
Shrigley's warped doodles actually make me laugh out loud, which is the kind of thing that people always say in reviews, but I never believe. I've been a fan of his work since he was a few years above me at the Art School in Glasgow, and its good to see that his increasing commercial success (such as his redstone books) hasn't led to the dilution of his genuinely unsettling and inept cartoons into some kind of cod-Larson surrealism.
Rating: 9/10
