"a devastatingly funny, misanthropic and strangely beautiful carnival of delights...the finest young auteur to detonate into British comics in a decade." - 3 a.m Magazine
"O'Connell has few peers" - Dazed & Confused
"Paul O'Connell's Sound of Drowning strips are my favourite Brit finds of recent years. He has a knack for nailing a specific kind of urban unease, for detailing the fantasy lives of the impotent, and our disquiet at the gulf between our shiny expectations and the shabby reality
around us. Equally alarming and amusing, creepy and poignant, they read like pop culture fever dreams, or the nightmares other comic books have after too much cheese and bad medication. Highly recommended and bloody funny too." - Mark Stafford, The London Cartoon Museum
"These comic strips disturb and amuse, mock and condemn. Part Lynch, part Coen, part Biff, part God-knows-what, there is something fantastically original going on here and it's really quite addictive. Theatre of the absurd writ large in words and images. Paul O'Connell eviscerates modern life like a surgeon with a meat cleaver in one hand and a rubber chicken in the other." - Charlie
Williams, author of Deadfolk, Fags and Lager, and King of
the Road.
