You're All Just Jealous of My Jetpack

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.
