“Flush from the vertiginous but not wholly undeserved success of his graphic novel Fred the Clown (“Langridge’s drawing style is brash and confident, and his immensely skilled” – Metapsychology. “One of the funniest cartoonists working today”. – the Sunday Patriot News), Roger Langridge reaches back into his deep, dark, distant past for this collection of stories starring the ineffable trinity of Art D’Ecco, Art Nouveau, and the hapless Gump, who exists at the well-visited crossroads of ignorance and stupidity.
Written by Roger’s brother Andrew, The Louche and Insalubrious Escapades of Art D’ecco offers up an inescapable vortex of puns, non sequiturs, senseless violence, abstruse references, and lovely ink lines.  Really, open up the book and check them out.  You won’tt see ink lines like this on the internet.”
