Musn't Grumble

Posy Simmonds' Musn't Grumble (1993–present, Jonathan Cape) is a single-issue collection of her sharp, gently satirical newspaper strips, originally published in The Guardian. Through Simmonds' signature blend of wry prose and expressive, observational art, the book captures the quiet absurdities and social nuances of middle-class British life in the late 20th century. It stands as a concise, character-rich snapshot from one of the medium's most literate and perceptive voices.
