"Kin to Penny Lane's most postmodern of moments ('though she feels as if she's in a play / she is anyway')

Chuck Joy's Theme of Line is much more than the sum of its parts. Its thematic narrative is driven by an engaging lyricism familiar to followers of his work and, though he may posit a cartoon life, no one, but no one, gets away without paying the piper. Cue the klaxon horn, sisters and brothers, Chuck Joy holds up the mirror, daring you to take a long deep look. To which I say, double down, pass it on."

- Don Wentworth
