Belly Up! Part One
Author: Darren Allen, William BarkerISBN: 9780993017445 | 68 pages
Belly Up! is a mad, butcherous, sweet, caustic carnival of surreal beauty and salt-in-the-eye satire. Darren Allen and William Barker’s joyfully nuts comic blends ludicrous comic strips with outrageous ubernews. Stuffed full of brakes-off Jupitermoon sex guides, bellymind-penetrating death games, cute woodcuts of desperate truths, frolicking-through-the-apocalypse stories, elegant and hairy subvertisements, exquisite cartoon masterpieces (illustrated by Ai, Robert Crumb, John O’Brien and Otto von Beach) and the strange and truthful language of bees.
Book Launch: 20 Sep @The Nines, Peckham
Sunday, August 28th, 2016And now ladies and gentlemen, it’s the moment you’ve all been waiting for. Lllllllllet’s get ready to Buuuuuuuuuuundlllllllllllllllllllllllllle….
The Date: 20th September.
The Time: 7:30pm.
The Venue: The Nines, Peckham, South London.
The Vibe: Groovy. Baby.
It’s the Honest Publishing Bundle on the Bookshelf book launch! To be Honest, there isn’t really any bundling. But there are some books and we have no doubt whatsoever there’ll be a shelf there somewhere. Come and help us celebrate the launch of Love and Fuck Poems by Koraly Dimitriadis (“Wow. Dimitriadis pulls no punches here. This is armed-missile poetry.”) and Belly Up! by Darren Allen and William Barker (featuring the pen work of Robert Crumb and The New Yorker‘s John O’Brien – a mad, butcherous, sweet, caustic carnival of surreal beauty and salt-in-the-eye satire).
What more could you possibly ask for from a Tuesday night? (And we’ve put a packet of bourbons* behind the bar – first come, first served. And some wine. Not much though, it’s expensive…)
The Nines, Peckham:
*Only two biscuits per person.
