The Scarfolk Annual

In these brain shattering days, Scarfolk is your guide and only friend … Bitingly funny, sometimes scary, and always brilliant” - Richard Kadrey, author of Sandman Slim

Brimming with mind-boggling stories and eye-popping photographs, Ripley’s Believe It or Not! 2020 is the perfect gift for anyone who is fascinated by the stranger side of life on earth. The aesthetics are simple because we like residents to get bad news as soon as possible. Additionally, we have to be as direct as possible because people are not very clever. Taking sentient life on earth as a whole, humans only register somewhere between sloth and balloon. Foreigners register even lower. Failure to understand one of our public information campaigns sometimes necessitates the funding of a follow-up poster campaign which explains what the previous one was about. Secondary poster campaigns may also include details of fines that have been incurred for failing to understand in the first place.” How does the council decide what issue or public concern they turn into a poster? Deceptively simple … an unpredictably wonderful, brilliant piece of political satire” - Boing Boing Jeff Johnson; David Roth; Drew Magary; Mark Byrne; Andrew Richdale; John Surico; Alex French; Jennifer Schwartz & Lu Fong (May 2013).

Scientists (and advertising agency executives who planned to exploit the results) predicted the result would produce “a wide variety of positive images, including majestic British landscapes accompanied by the sounds of waves and music as beautiful as anything written by maestros such Sir Edward Elgar or Cliff Richard”. We like the ‘Don’t’ campaign because it distils all our public information campaigns into one catchall message: ‘Don’t.’

We already live in Scarfolk, just without the stellar graphic design to keep us amused through this dystopian nightmare.

The third in Noon’s Nyquist trilogy, a series of bizarre horror-fantasy novels (which trend further towards horror with each new installment) that sees his hardboiled but in-over-his-head detective John Nyquist arriving at the small village of Hoxley-on-the-Hale with a series of disturbing photographs and a case to solve. But the town is embroiled in an odd series of traditions all centered around the various saints they worship, and the locals are wildly unhelpful when Nyquist calls on them for help, preferring to drug him or otherwise lie to him to protect their secrets. The weirdness of Hoxley is the perfect foil for Nyquist, who is no stranger to weirdness but still finds the town throwing him repeated curveballs, and Noon perfectly hits the flavor of small-town folk horror with the book, including vague references to saints who might actually be pagan deities, and of course the masked agent of chaos (and homicidal vegetation) found at the center of it all. In 1972, the government drew up plans to construct a deportation facility off the coast of Ireland that could house as many as 70 million people - the entire population of the UK, if need be. The intention was to make it an exact replica of the United Kingdom and call it Bad Kingdom. Nobody, it seemed, fulfilled the increasingly stringent criteria of what it meant to be truly British. Scarfolk is so amazing. You can easily lose an evening by falling down that rabbithole’ Wil Wheaton Littler stays true to the essential feeling of Scarfolk – suffocating, paranoid existential horror.

Scar Toys exploited this expanding market opportunity and created a range of toys aimed at the many children in the process of being orphaned. One such toy, the Breath Mirror Set, aimed at young girls, was designed to accompany their more traditional beauty/vanity toys. The deluxe set (see picture above) included one mirror for each parent, colour-coded as per gender convention: pink for girls, blue for boys.Despite the complexity of the process, the washing of the brain itself doesn’t require any specialised equipment (apart from brain spoons).

It's satire of course, but I am sure Littler has one very close eye on the state of the united kingdom today when producing this!

Scarfolk University, for example, was given four million pounds to develop a computer that could record the brainwaves of hundreds of Real English Wine drinkers and then convert those brainwaves into sounds and images.

Not just a satirical look at the present via a warped nostalgic lens, but also a strangely beautiful graphic design object. Funny, creepy & an Orwellesque triumph of graphic design’ Anne Billson
