Tom Gauld
â€œPrecise and wryly hilarious...Gauld's both a literature nerd and a science-fiction nerd whose deadpan mashups belong on the same shelf as R. Sikoryak, Michael Kupperman, and Kate Beaton.â€â€”NPR, Best Books of 2013,AÂ new collection from the ,Guardian, and, New York Times Magazine, cartoonist,The ,New York Times Magazine, cartoonist Tom Gauld follows up his widely praised graphic novel ,Goliath, with ,Youâ€™re All Just Jealous of My Jetpack,, a collection of cartoons made for ,The Guardian,. Over the past eight years, Gauld has produced a weekly cartoon for the Saturday Review section of Britainâ€™s best-regarded newspaper. Only a handful of comics from this huge and hilarious body of work have ever been printed in North Americaâ€”and these have been available exclusively within the pages of the prestigious ,Believer, magazine. ,Â Â Â Â  ,You,â€™,re All Just Jealous of My Jetpack, distills perfectly Gauldâ€™s dark humor, impeccable timing, and distinctive style. Arrests by the fiction police andÂ imaginary towns designed by Tom Waits intermingle hilariously with piercing observations about human behavior and whimsical imaginings of the future. Again and again, Gauld reaffirms his position as a first-rank cartoonist, creating work infused with a deep understanding of both literary and cartoon history.
