Dejected? Listless? Out of sorts? Have you quite frankly had it up to your arse with the state of the modern world? Let’s face it - whether it’s showering, voting, or praying, eventually you have to do it all over again. So why bother? Wouldn’t it be easier to just lie down on the floor and stay there? Or do you sometimes catch the faint ghost of a hoarse, dry voice in the numbing roar of static, a smear of colour within the tomb of night? If so, what you’re seeing could well be the cover of Token Gesture and the voice that of Paul Hatcher, stumbling blindly, as lost as any of us, but undeterred in his mission to connect, to communicate and commune, to show you a cartoon of a lorry having sex with a car, some classified ads about going to the toilet, and a foul mockery of the shipping forecast, and then expect you to pay for them.
But in fairness he only wants £6 (incl P&P), which you can easily afford, and moments ago, if you remember, you were talking about lying down on the floor and staying there. Well, Paul Hatcher didn’t lie down on the floor and stay there - he got back up and made a new comic, a new *kind* of comic, a Token Gesture - a rattle-bag of foul-mouthed parody and gentle scatological humour with the sole aim of making you laugh and feel better. Obviously you want to laugh and feel better, and the truth is this is probably your best chance. But don’t take my word for it - buy a copy and see for yourself.
