If You Can’t Stand the Heat

Judy Horacek

'It is impossible not to giggle at Judy Horacek's smart yet dreamily inventive cartoons and illustrations, seen here in their technicolour glory in this seventh collection of Judy's published sketches. The Australian artist's observations on the absurdities of modern life and witty takes on environmental and global issues bring welcome levity to even the darkest scenarios. Read them and weep — with laughter!'

Juliet Reiden, Australian Women's Weekly

'A gathering of funny, poignant observations on the absurdities, quandaries and contradictions (both global and personal) of contemporary life.'

'Every single cartoon here could be used as a thought-provoking insight into life in the twenty-first century, or taken as just a quick belly-laugh. Or a mixture of both, if you like.'

Megan Blandford, Australian Women Online

Judy Horacek’s beautiful and brilliantly funny observations are modern icons perfectly distilling the absurdities, foibles and the dilemmas of contemporary life. Ranging from the minutiae of daily living to larger scale global and environmental issues, her cartoons celebrate human creativity and resilience and are permeated with a concern for justice and a desire for laughter.

If You Can’t Stand the Heat is a wonderful phantasmagoria of ancient fairy tales made new, of penguins, pirates and angels.

A scintillating new collection from one of Australia's most loved cartoonists.
