Forward by political comedian Mark Thomas 'With his beautiful illustrations and incisive words, Greene is one of the most important cartoonists working today' David Squires, Guardian cartoonist 'Fantastic' Chris Riddell, author, illustrator and political cartoonist 'For years in the pages of Private Eye 'Scene & Heard' has combined to telling effect a journalist's news sense and ear for a quote with an artist's eye for the human condition, once a fortnight, for less than the price of a bog-standard pint in a characterless booze-barn' Barney Farmer 'Deceptively intelligent and exceptionally moreish' Charlie Brooker 'Yeah. What he said' Lee Healey Viz, The Drunken Bakers 'Unusually for modern journalism, Scene & Heard leaves the reader with more questions than fourth-hand conjecture masquerading as insight. As brutally honest as one might hope. Brilliant' Rufus Hound 'David is one of the greatest political cartoonists we have, with a sharp insight and expression that is equally matched by his great draughtsmanship' Gosh! comics 'It's the gentle warmth of Greene's approach that gives these stories their unexpected power; the understated humaneness of watching and listening and composing these snapshots of modern public political life' Samira Ahmed, journalist, writer & presenter of BBC Front Row 'A refreshing piece of unbiased reporting in a sea of cynicism' Miranda Sawyer, writer & broadcaster 'To condense each complex subject into a handful of soundbites that are so inherently revealing about the diversity of public opinion on any given matter is a tribute to Greene's perceptive approach to this undertaking' Broken Frontier 'Times Like These is a beautiful example of the power of the comics medium to be used in different ways... very, warmly human, and personal... It's a fascinating series of snapshots of society, drawn - literally - from all walks of life' Forbidden Planet International 'A ride through humanity. Which, yes, is often hideous but the details are fascinating. Greene's pen-line makes sure of that' Bleeding Cool 'A fascinating look at the modern political climate through a very unique perspective... each strip has both the objectivity of a journalist, but the political passion of someone who really cares about what he is doing' Pipedream Comics
