You're All Just Jealous of My Jetpack

<p><b>The inaugural collection of cartoons that introduced Tom Gauld’s literary wit to the world now in paperback!</b><br><br><br>"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."—NPR<br><br>Drawn from Tom Gauld’s popular comics feature in <i>The Guardian</i>, <i>You're All Just Jealous of My Jetpack</i> 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”).<br><br>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.</p>
