Author: Gauld, Tom

Condition: New

Fifty postcards from The Guardian, by Britains most well regarded cartoonistTom Gauld (Mooncop, Youre All Just Jealous of My Jetpack, Goliath) has created countless iconic strips for The Guardian over the course of his illustrious career. A master of condensing grand, highbrow themes into one- to eight-panel comics, his weekly strips embody his trademark British humor while simultaneously opening comics to an audience unfamiliar with the artistry that cartooning has to offer. Funny but serious, these postcards allow Gauld to put his impressive knowledge of history, literature, and pop culture on full display-his impeccable timing and distinctive visual style setting him apart from the rest.This postcard set celebrates more than a decade of Gaulds contributions to The Guardian, with fifty of his most beloved strips, on everything from Samuel Becketts sitcom pitches (such as Waiting for Kramer: a show where two men await the arrival of a man named Kramer who never comes), Procrastination for Creative Writers, a 10-Week Course, and Poetry Anthologies for People Who Dont Like Poems. Witty and beautifully drawn, The Snooty Bookshop will make you chuckle at least fifty times, guaranteed.
