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.

After a life in advertising and journalism, along with photography, art, cartooning, family and being a part-time blues guitarist Neil Stanners finally found time to write a book. He enjoyed it so much he decided to write another. Then another. He is now working on others and wishes he'd started sooner. Neil Stanners has lived and worked in Europe but these days resides in his home town of Sydney. His books are very observational. He tells you of people and their situations. Neil Stanners books are historically accurate. Not always comfortable but fellow humans you can relate to and understand. People you want to know. As one reviewer says "" He has ..... imagination and heart that is rarely found. There is a simple, yet stark realism ........""

Reviews for The Cartoony World of Neil Stanners

""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.""
