“The humble nature of a pair of Y-Fronts is a recurring theme in Alex Potts’s Underpants, a comic with a name that was no doubt designed to cause sniggering guffaws in the audience of any hapless reviewer who mentions its title and creator in the same sentence. Potts is a long-term mainstay of the UK small press world having contributed to anthologies like The Comix Reader, Off Life, Dirty Rotten Comics, Wu Wei, To Arms! and A Bit of Undigested Potato. A Quiet Disaster, his unforgettable tale of one man’s meanderingly aimless day off work, was published by Avery Hill in 2014 to great critical acclaim.
Underpants is a collection of his short stories, bringing together work from the last few years that ranges from wistful melancholia to detached comedic farce. By its very nature it’s a little patchwork in terms of tone but it acts as a telling showcase for this most under-rated of comics practitioners.”
“Having met Alex a couple of times, I wasn’t at all surprised to discover that Underpants is unsurprisingly silly.”
