| I did not know these albums were on the site. The panels are of an apt size to appreciate McManus's art. I would give these books an 11 rather than a 10 if I could. Not only for McManus's art but for his themes of mocking pomposity and social pretension.
Oh - and I don't mind Corn Beef and Cabbage either! |
