A new collection from the Guardianand New York Times Magazinecartoonist The New York Times Magazinecartoonist Tom Gauld follows up his widely praised graphic novel Goliathwith You'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 Britain's best-regarded newspaper. Only a handful of comics from this huge and hilarious body of work have ever been printed in North Americaand these have been available exclusively within the pages of the prestigious Believermagazine. You' re All Just Jealous of My Jetpackdistills perfectly Gauld's dark humor, impeccable timing, and distinctive style. Arrests by the fiction police and 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.
