Critical Acclaim
The Strip and the Tate Britain exhibition have received wide critical acclaim from both the art and literary worlds:
I think the Drunken Bakers is like Samuel fucking Beckett or something. It's horrible and really funny. - Alan Moore
Comedy drunks have been around since drinks first began, but few have been so utterly forlorn as the Drunken Bakers. - Steve Lowe, The Guardian
The aesthetic compression of Mr Farmer's dialogue and Mr Healey's line...convey an oppressive sense of the drinker's irresistible drive for oblivion. - Roberta Smith, New York Times
It's brilliant. - Christopher Howse, The Daily Telegraph

Famous quotes containing the words critical and/or acclaim:
“If our entertainment culture seems debased and unsatisfying, the hope is that our children will create something of greater worth. But it is as if we expect them to create out of nothing, like God, for the encouragement of creativity is in the popular mind, opposed to instruction. There is little sense that creativity must grow out of tradition, even when it is critical of that tradition, and children are scarcely being given the materials on which their creativity could work”
—C. John Sommerville (20th century)
“in every language even deafanddumb
thy sons acclaim your glorious name by gorry
by jing by gee by gosh by gum”
—E.E. (Edward Estlin)
