Rezensionen

A mesmerising jumble of jokes, drawings and elderly gripes... All human life - and death - is here in this lucky dip of memories and fears, irritations and idle thoughts... [Time For Lights Out] has black humour galore...and, as always, Briggs's drawings have a touch of magic about them, conjuring human beings and their foibles out of a few precious lines.
