Acerbic, lysergic and razor sharp observations on music, art and life, Trip or Squeek continues a tradition of satirical illustration dating back to the 18th century, albeit one that has been dosed up via the ’60s freak scene, Japanese monster movies and the weird fiction of HP Lovecraft.

Containing over 100 comic strips, collected together for the first time, the book features extensive notes, a discography and never-before-seen preparatory sketches by Savage Pencil, and an illustrated foreword by artist Gary Panter.

Reviews
Herein the true history of music… the heroes and zeroes of the modern music landscape mutated into their true form.Rough Trade books of the year 2012
Avant Garde music is funny. You know it, I know it, Edwin Pouncey knows it… what we’re here for are the laughs and… there’s a lot of them in this noisy, chaotic, and charming collection. The Quietus
