A lifetime of cartooning . Seeing the world and its foibles and exploiting them. Neil Stanners has done the lot.

Publisher Marketing: "A lot of fun. A marvellous mix of all the parts that make great cartoon work." "Interesting compilation of clever cartoon material." "The sort of book that you can keep going back to and find new, whimsical takes on life. Stanners, as he says, is a foible hunter." Publisher Marketing : Cartoonists are not normal people They live in a different world on a planet quite close to earth. While they may appear similar to us and harmless they are not.During their time amongst us, they see an entirely different existence to ours. They perceive the absurd and notice the idiotic, are amused by our stupidity and naivety and most of all they take notes and relieve their boredom by making drawings of us humans to show us how we really are, as opposed to the way we see ourselves. They are foible hunters. Neil Stanners is one of them.
