About the Book

"Reading a long book description are ya?" "Stocking up for Christmas are ya?" "Yeah looks like it an' all." Collected Thoughts is a beautifully hand-stitched, slim volume of cultural significance from the legendary Modern Toss character Drive By Abuser. Drive By has finally put pen to paper to produce the most stylish volume of comic verse since the Bab Ballads. Drive By Abuser first appeared in issue 3 of the Modern Toss comic and subsequently became a popular character in the TV Series for Channel 4. Drive By is a blunt talking, moped-rider who "considers" various things before hurling profane abuse at them. Collected Thoughts is straight from the maestro of the moped; a 36 page, Poetry style treasure trove of Drive By Abuser's half-baked musings. Collected Thoughts is illustrated with his own comic drawings throughout, masterly produced with an HB pencil. Laugh out loud as Drive By abuses sunbathers, the telephone box, gastro pubs, ready meals, gardeners, power stations, swans, mountaineering, France, traffic lights, matches, alfresco dining, ornithologists, the tree, aviation, picnics, artists, cruise ships, recycling, shopping, golf, texting, cappuccinos, the internet, joggers and many other hotly debated topical phenomena.

About the Author :
The scurrilous, global cult comic brand Modern Toss is the creation of Jon Link and Mick Bunnage. As writers, cartoonists, and animators they've taken Modern Toss from television to cutting edge advertising; and from international design magazines to greeting card racks. 2014 is the 10th anniversary of their first ever comic (financed in 2004 by advance orders from online fans) and has since developed into an irregularly released much valued series. Issues 5-7 are still in print; with the early four editions now highly collectable (especially the second, with its free sample of royal hair). Issues 1 to 4 of the comic were released as books by Macmillan, alongside the blockbuster 'Work Book' and 'All You Can Eat of Homeclubber'. A top notch slim volume of verse by the 'Drive By Abuser' is also available too, published by Modern Toss themselves. They have since published 'More Work' book and the 'Desperate Business" in 2012, a series of recession inspired cartoons for Private Eye, one of which is part of the permanent collection at the V&A. Their first TV series, broadcast on Channel 4 in 2006, was a ground breaking mix of blunt-talking, animated characters with bizarre and surreal live action. Their second series was snapped up and both were broadcast in the U.S. and 30 other territories. The two series won unanimous critical praise and were nominated for a Rose D'Or award in 2009. Acclaimed sitcom Work Experience was broadcast on E4 and in 2011 and Chaos Laboratories, a live action, sci-fi themed animation (with Paul Kaye and Simon Day) was also commissioned by BBC Online. The brilliant Business Mouse cartoon was broadcast on Channel 4 in August 2012 and picked up a Royal Television Society Award in 2013. Robin of Essex also debuted in 2012 with Channel 4 online. Along with a showing of Modern Toss, Channel Four commissioned five promos for their Funny Fortnight in August 2012. Jon and Mick are currently developing a new TV series for broadcast in 2014. They have had three exhibitions at Brighton's Ink_d gallery, during which the highly collectable 'Buy More Shit Or We're All Fucked ' plastic bag, part of their inspired 'Improperganda' range, became the shopper's favourite. A celebration of their artwork took place in London's Maverick Gallery in June 2010, where their startlingly innovative 'Periodic Table of Swearing' print became an international phenomenon - appearing as an actual table at the Latitude festival, alongside the Portrait Booth in 2011. Modern Toss returned to Somerset House Pick Me Up Design Festival in April 2013 and created the world's longest cartoon strip called the 'Fuckyeux Tapestry'. Their cartoons feature regularly in The Guardian and Private Eye magazine.
