If you enjoy humor a bit dark, a tad outrageous with a whiff of the sinister and macabre, then this collection of cartoons, Polly Wants A Lawyer is for you. Long time New Yorker cartoonist Nick Downes has a talent for finding hilarity down the mean streets of law & disorder. Crazed criminals, corrupt cops, tainted juries, chaotic courtrooms, schemers, hustlers and cranks, Downes handles all with a deft comic touch. With Polly Wants A Lawyer, Nick Downes presents a rogues gallery of bitingly funny takes on our sordid world of crime & punishment.
Advanced Praise
In the venerable tradition of Charles Addams and Gahan Wilson, Nick Downes-with this collection of fabulously bizarre, twisted, and sometimes macabre gags-proves himself to be a cartoonist with a deliciously freaky sense of fun.
-Emma Allen, Cartoon Editor of The New Yorker
I didn't know I could laugh out loud while gasping in shock, but this book made me do it over and over...Deceptively sweet-looking cartoons that pack a real gut punch.
-Mike Reiss, Award winning comedy writer and executive producer of 'The Simpsons'
Nick Downes has never been to jail. He's a good boy.
-Sam Gross, Cartoonist for The New Yorker, National Lampoon, Playboy, and many others
Nick Downes is one of our greatest living cartoonists. That's right, he's still living.
-Bob Eckstein, New York Times bestselling author, cartoonist
