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:
“Productive collaborations between family and school, therefore, will demand that parents and teachers recognize the critical importance of each other’s participation in the life of the child. This mutuality of knowledge, understanding, and empathy comes not only with a recognition of the child as the central purpose for the collaboration but also with a recognition of the need to maintain roles and relationships with children that are comprehensive, dynamic, and differentiated.”
—Sara Lawrence Lightfoot (20th century)
“Humility must always be the portion of any man who receives acclaim earned in the blood of his followers and the sacrifices of his friends.”
—Dwight D. Eisenhower (1890–1969)
