'Praise for Tom Gauld: 'Tom Gauld is always funny, but he's funny in a way that makes you feel smarter' - NEIL GAIMAN 'Gauld is my favourite hyper-minimalist brainiac cartoonist' - WILLIAM GIBSON '[Gauld's strips] have become known for their wry, playful erudition' - New Yorker '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 'Each single-page piece is a clever, funny, slightly bonkers riff on a literary theme . . . Sublime' - The Times '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
