The inaugural collection of cartoons that introduced Tom Gauld’s literary wit to the world now in paperback!"Precise and wryly hilarious...Gauld''s both a literature nerd and a science-fiction nerd whose deadpan mashups belong on the same shelf as Kate Beaton."—NPRDrawn from Tom Gauld’s popular comics feature in The Guardian, You''re All Just Jealous of My Jetpack perfectly distills Gauld''s dark humor, impeccable timing, and distinctive style. Classic strips like “The Brontë Sisters: The Videogame” and “The Serious Rock Critic” (who’s written 32 books about Led Zeppelin) intermingle hilariously with piercing observations about politics and human behavior (see: “The Greedy Dog Stands on the Chair of Hope to Feast on the Sausage of Hubris”) and whimsical imaginings of the future (see: “The ‘Great Automaton Strike’ of 2029 Saw the Birth of the Robot Protest Song”).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.
