In the book, the weirdness can be relived again and again with approximately 160 cartoons on themes of love, work, death, fashion and fun, plus a running narrative linking all the sections. <i>Noonaville</i> is set to be the humour book that people read under their desks, in front of the telly, in their lunch breaks & before they go to bed. It is bright, fun and funny and has cult status written all over it.</p>

Welcome to <i>Noonaville</i>. A kind of suburban open jail for the criminally strange. <i>Noonaville</i> is the figment of renowned cartoonist Stephen Bolton’s brilliantly creative and often quite warped imagination. <i>Noonaville</i> represents a sort of fictitious every town of suburban weirdness. It is a place in the middle of everything and the centre of nothing. Nothing that is apart from a few well-meaning and uniquely quirky inhabitants struggling with the daily issues of life, love, work, death and Atomic Brand Laundry Powder Syndrome..
