 Roger Langridge
Influenced by comedy past and present, classic American newspaper strips, and the commercial art styles of the early 20th century, Roger Langridge's work betrays a restless stylistic playfulness, a pessimism about human nature, and an absurdist perspective on human folly.

Roger Langridge's gorgeously meticulous cartooning is put to great service in this online graphic novel.

One of my favorite books from a couple of years ago was Roger Langridge's Fred the Clown from Les Cartoonists Dangereux.
Even when Fred is finally able to achieve victory, it's a hollow one at best, with Langridge cruely pulling the carpet out from under Fred at the last second for one final wink to the readers—at Fred's expense, of course.
Langridge uses a variety of classic sources to effortlessly mimic and parody in them, everything from the board game Monopoly to movie advertisements, from classic poems ("You Are Old, Father Williams") to Doctor Seuss, and all points in-between.
