ART AND THE BOUNCY BANKER: Scottish cartoonist

The Bruxist Collective's take on Art and (as Alfred Jarry might put it) P'finance.

A numerically dyslexic artist (and reluctant consumer) shares his dearth of financial wisdom and resulting frustrations with his Bank Manager. Read personal letters from the elusive Art to his even more elusive Bank Manager. See a comic rendition of a Day In The Life Of The Bouncy Banker. Art struggles to make sense of the senseless as the Authorities of Finance wobble but never quite fall down. Full of hot air they float above it all! When they bounce it is with impunity! Why are there no Remorseful Bankers? Can Art and Finance ever coexist? Do you have a Blue Chip on your shoulder?

When bankers get together they talk about Art. When artists get together they talk about money. Oscar Wilde

John Glashan

John Glashan, the Great Scottish Cartoonist (born John McGlashan, 24 December 1927 - 15 June 1999) was a Scottish cartoonist, illustrator and playwright. He created the much loved cartoon GENIUS that ran in the Sunday Observer magazine during my formative years and he remains an inspiration.

Revisiting my bookshelf I pulled out John Glashan's World, published by Robinson Publishing, with rave review on back cover by Terry Gilliam, and these two images are scanned from the book.
