Autorenporträt

David Mackintosh draws a lot when he's on his own. In fact, all the pictures in this book were done that way, except once when a boll weevil walked across his desk as if it owned the place. As a student he lived in a house with the bathtub in the backyard, and on summer nights slept with the windows open, listening to mosquitos on the ceiling.

Praise for MARSHALL ARMSTRONG IS NEW TO OUR SCHOOL:

"Utterly unpredictable from one page to the next,this is a seriously funny book." - The Independent on Sunday
