You're All Just Jealous of My Jetpack cover

Drawn 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 Bronte 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.

“[Gauld’s] economical art—think Edward Gorey drawing elegant stick figures—is married to dry, incisive humor, making each strip a carefully composed marvel.”” —Publishers Weekly, Starred Review

“That Gauld is able to get so much of that across with so little is like the most disarming, confounding magic trick.” —A.V. Club

“Terrifically funny.” —Paste Magazine

“[You're All Just Jealous of My Jetpack] consists of single panel cartoon that explore the passage of time, absurdism, and most of the 7 Deadly Sins, all presented with a sense of graceful whimsy that makes his work such a delight to read.” —Boing Boing
