By Hunt Emerson<\/strong> (Knockabout) Calculus Cat is a bitter creature trapped in a loveless relationship with no way out. All day he goes out, slaving at his dire job of scooting about with a broad and painful smile whilst people throw stuff at him, and when he gets home instead of Tender Loving Care he gets more grief; relentless grief.<\/p>\n For in the Cat’s world the television set loves him, needs him and exploits him.<\/p>\n Cryptic, surreal, weirdly symbolic and brilliantly funny in a uniquely British way these collected strips detail the war of nerves and will between a TV set that is compelled and driven to bombard the cat with advertising, offering teasing little snippets of seductive entertainment like Supercar<\/strong> or westerns every time the hapless feline musters enough self-respect to attempt a break-up. As an allegory of marriage it is wonderful, as a description of our relationship with the Media it’s actually a little scary\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 but I did mention that it was very funny, right?<\/p>\n Produced occasionally, and with the unspecified help of the enigmatic \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Pokkettz\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, this is an art-lover’s delight – as always – but has hidden depths and echoes.
