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:
“It is a sign of our times, conspicuous to the coarsest observer, that many intelligent and religious persons withdraw themselves from the common labors and competitions of the market and the caucus, and betake themselves to a certain solitary and critical way of living, from which no solid fruit has yet appeared to justify their separation.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“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)
