Publisher's Synopsis
THE 2OTH CENTURY: FROM SLAPSTICK TO SEMIOTICS...WASN'T IT FUNNY. The second of the disturbingly entertaining Mr. Winderbilt volumes, Mr. Winderbilt and The Modern Conveyance. What can one say? How about..A madcap whirlwind sitcom chase through the tumultuous iconography of a bumper, war economy cardboard cover, big print, four-colour world. A comedy of manners, machines, militarism and mad cows. And at the still point of the turning umbrella: Mr. Winderbilt? Alternatively, as they said of us previously: 'Stories pretending to be pretentious. Indescribably brilliant' - Zigzag Magazine
