The New Adventures of Keats & Chapman

Mathews has long been an admirer of Flann O'Brien, especially his famous Keats and Chapman sketches. Here he attempts to re-invent the style and wit of the short pieces, with original columns done in the style of O'Brien's sketches. He succeeds wonderfully. Previously printed in Hot Press, each column humorously builds up to a punch line, based on a pun.

The New Adventures of Keats & Chapman is a must for all fans of Mathews, Flann O'Brien and, indeed, for anyone who revels in the art of wordplay.

'Cartoonist Tom Mathews is a man with an amusing moustache, and a whole lot more besides. He may well be my favourite eccentric of all,' --Fiona Looney, Sunday Tribune
