The twisted genius of Modern Toss

Jon Link and Mick Bunnage, creators of Modern Toss, used to work in men's magazines. In their time at loaded and Jack the pair rode the crest of a wave which saw magazines which were funny, open-minded, rude and above all original. That was then. Since 2002 the pair have been creating the masterpiece that is Modern Toss from their Brighton base. The comics (edition 4 is now available) have more than a cult following: they appear regularly in national newspapers, there are lovely prints and cards for sale, and Channel 4 has run two series of animated Toss. We love them, you should love them. Check out their blog and buy their stuff at www.moderntoss.com
