A Large Can of Whoopass is his third release and the first not to be assembled on his kitchen table. But that's exactly where he wrote, illustrated and designed it. The polyphonic and intertextual stories contain within all have change at their heart. As such, they embark in the United States and move through an airport to the various counties of Great Britain. And end with a story that alludes to the superfluous nature of geography in finally feeling at home. With the exception of Ass About Face, which appears in the current edition of Stand Magazine, all of the stories receive a first airing here. Moving from the teenager with his first leather jacket, to the kid puberty ruined, through to the worshipped reclusive musician and the reflective advertising industry casualty: all these characters have been absorbed by the dynamics of change. Guilty of nothing more than living, some have welcomed transformation, some have forced it and others can't look in the mirror. There may be tears. There will be love.
