The Human Odyssey

I see that the cartoonist Martin Rowson has a new book coming out entitled Fuck: The Human Odyssey. It consists of a series of images tracing the human journey from its beginnings. The majority of the images have a speech bubble containing the single eponymous expletive. You can see (and buy!) the original images at the Chris Beetles Gallery. I particularly like the one illustrating the High Renaissance.

 

Rowson is a good writer as well as cartoonist. His book The Dog Allusion is both witty and true.
