Book overview
Cartoonist Dave Walker introduces Household Problems, a book about everyday domestic incompetence. Each Household Problem is depicted in a hand-drawn diagram. Topics addressed include:
- Technology Problems. Why can’t someone invent a printer that works?
- Kitchen Problems. Where are we going to put one more kitchen gadget?
- Garden Problems. Is that a weed, or a valid plant?
- Storage Problems: Do you really need that many shoes?
- Living Room Problems. Why can’t I remember which light switch does what?
"Ideal for anyone living in a household, or anyone with problems."
"Is it a book, a zine, or a cry for help?"

Brilliant - thanks Dave Walker!

I've loved Dave Walker's work since I was given his Cycling Cartoonist book. This one deserves an even wider audience - recommended for anyone with a house and/or problems.

Dave Walker has done it again
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 January 2026Format: PaperbackDave has a unique capability to make everyday situations laugh-out-loud funny. The dishwasher. The scissors. The misdirected parcel. I needed a lie-down after reading.
