Hot on the heels of last year’s VIP: The Mad World of Virgil Partch comes
this brand new collection of intoxicated insanity! Virgil Partch, tutor
to the tanked, scholar of the sloshed, professor to the plastered, and
endowed with a scholarship from the School of Advanced Study of
Alcoholic Endeavor, flung himself into months-long research of the most
arduous kind in order to produce — for our collective betterment — this
report on the hangover, and how one may acquire it. At the height of his
career, working in quiet obscurity, Partch pursued his goal quietly and
selflessly, often confining himself for long hours without food or
sleep in dim, ill-ventilated holes-in-the- walls, doggedly researching,
testing, rejecting, seeking no reward but that elusive ideal mixture to
satiate one’s palate and wet one’s whistle. The foamy formula of excess
(C2H5OH + homo sapiens) has created a combustible concoction that has
long fueled sleepless nights, great passions, artistic achievement, and
regretful mornings, but never before has it produced such inspired
hilarity. Collecting the top shelf of VIP’s drink-themed artwork
including well-known favorites, this new book is sure to delight even
the most rigid teetotaler (and perhaps cause them to reconsider). So
batten down the hooch and prepare to cast off on the stormy seas of
booze with your faithful captain, Virgil Partch! Full-color
