About this title

Synopsis

Common Sense combines extravagantly lurid and luscious colour with Parr�s trademark sense of irony. Though hilariously funny there is a sharp and biting edge to the humor. He highlights the minutiae of everyday contemporary life�hamburgers, cigarette butts, tacky gifts and dime store combs�that have been taken around the world.
