A collection of brilliantly off-the-wall cartoons. Ever wondered
what War and Peace clickbait looks like? Or Machiavelli's month
planner? Gauld can help
* * Daily Mail, Best Reads of 2017 * *
Tom Gauld might just be the Edward Gorey of our time, channelling
his wry humour and macabre aesthetic through exquisite
black-and-white illustrations
*MARIA POPOVA*
Each single-page piece is a clever, funny, slightly bonkers riff on
a literary theme . . . Sublime
* * The Times * *
One of the best cartoonists around!
* * BoingBoing * *
Praise for the works of Tom Gauld: Heartwarming
* * Guardian * *
At once hilarious and achingly melancholy . . . A quietly essential
read
* * Wired * *
His economical art . . . is married to dry, incisive humor, making
each strip a carefully composed marvel
* * Publishers Weekly * *
The ironic takes on key moments in history and literature
(Armstrong on the moon, Cathy and Heathcliff wandering the moor)
will certainly elicit a few laughs
* * Vogue * *
Gauld's deceptively simple panels and sparse, understated dialogue
speak poetically . . . Gauld finds humour and hope - as well as
coffee and doughnuts - in his portrait of a fading utopia
* * Guardian * *
Precise and wryly hilarious
* * NPR, Best Books of 2013 * *
