A quirky and thought-provoking tale ... funny, poignant and wonderfully ridiculous!
David Hughes
Thomas Wogan finds himself in a strange waiting room with nothing but a ticket and his spectacles to protect his modesty. It’s not clear what’s happened, but perhaps the other characters in the waiting room - a cuckoo, a sea urchin, a natterjack toad, a bat, a fish and an egg - can shed some light on the matter ...
“Hughes’ art works a treat for the tale he’s telling; whilst his humans are all grotesques to one degree or another, with Thomas ranging from somewhat creepy to deeply sympathetic, and his characterisations of the animals ranging from realistic to intensely caricatured cartooning depending on the mood he wants to portray.” - forbiddenplanet.co.uk
