I åratal hade kungen och drottningen längtat efter barn. Så äntligen gick deras önskan i uppfyllelse. De fick en dotter och en son. Men varje natt förvandlades prinsessan till ett vedträ och kunde bara väckas med en magisk ramsa. En morgon råkade hembiträdet vara först uppe. Hon förstod inte vad ett vedträ gjorde i prinsessans säng och kastade ut det genom fönstret. Jakten på prinsessan blir ett halsbrytande äventyr som tar syskonen världen runt innan de till sist får hjälp från ett mycket oväntat håll.
Den lilla träroboten och prinsessan vedträ är en klassisk saga som är helt nutida och samtidigt alldeles tidlös. Den har sålts till flera länder, fått strålande recensioner och utnämnts till Årets bok.
Tom Gauld är en kultförklarad och prisbelönt serietecknare och illustratör. En gång i veckan gör han en serie om litteratur i The Guardian och en om vetenskap i The New Scientist. Han gör även omslag till The New Yorker. Den lilla träroboten och prinsessan vedträ är hans första bok för barn. Jag har försökt göra en bok som är inspirerad av böckerna jag gillade när jag var barn, böckerna mina döttrar gillar och böckerna jag gillar nu när jag är vuxen. Jag ville att boken skulle ha en helt egen känsla, men samtidigt fungera som en klassisk godnattsaga.
En av de bästa bilderböckerna jag läst i år. New York Times
Denna roliga och innerliga bok är en fantastisk introduktion till seriernas värld för barn som innan man vet ordet av kommer att sluka grafiska romaner som godis. Washington Post

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.

Tom Gauld's debut graphic novel retelling of a classic mythSince the 2011 release of Goliath, Tom Gauld has solidified himself as one of the world s most revered and critically-acclaimed cartoonists working today. From his weekly strips in the Guardian and New Scientist, to his lauded graphic novels You're All Just Jealous of My Jetpack and Mooncop, Gauld s fascination with the intersection between history, literary criticism, and pop culture has become the crux of his work. Now in paperback, with a new cover and smaller size, Goliath is a retelling of the classic myth, this time from Goliath's side of the Valley of Elah. Goliath of Gath isn't much of a fighter. He would pick admin work over patrolling in a heartbeat, to say nothing of his distaste for engaging in combat. Nonetheless, at the behest of the king, he finds himself issuing a twice-daily challenge to the Israelites: "e;Choose a man. Let him come to me that we may fight."e;Quiet moments in Goliath's life as an isolated soldier are accentuated by Gauld's trademark drawing style: minimalist scenery, geometric humans, and densely crosshatched detail. Simultaneously tragic and bleakly funny, Goliath displays a sensitive wit and a bold line--a traditional narrative reworked, remade, and revolutionized into a classic tale of Gauld s very own.

A new collection from the Guardian and New York Times Magazine cartoonist - one of NPR's best books of the year!New York Times Magazine cartoonist Tom Gauld follows up his widely praised graphic novel Goliath with You re All Just Jealous of My Jetpack, a collection of cartoons made for The Guardian. Over the past eight years, Gauld has produced a weekly cartoon for the Saturday Review section of Britain s most well regarded newspaper. Only a handful of comics from this huge and hilarious body of work have ever been printed in North America exclusively within the pages of the prestigious Believer magazine. You re All Just Jealous of My Jetpack distils perfectly Gauld s dark humor, impeccable timing, and distinctive style. Arrests by the fiction police and fictional towns designed by Tom Waits intermingle hilariously with piercing observations about human behavior and whimsical imaginings of the future. Again and again, Tom Gauld reaffirms his position as a first rank cartoonist, creating work infused with a deep understanding of both literary and cartoon history.

The Guardian cartoonist relates the daily deadpan adventures of the last policeman living on the moon"e;Living on the moon Whatever were we thinking? ...It seems so silly now. The lunar colony is slowly winding down, like a small town circumvented by a new super highway. As our hero, the Mooncop, makes his daily rounds, his beat grows ever smaller, the population dwindles. A young girl runs away, a dog breaks off his leash, an automaton wanders off from the Museum of the Moon. Each day that the Mooncop goes to work, life gets a little quieter and a little lonelier. As in Goliath, Tom Gauld s retelling of the Bible story, the focus in Gauld's science fiction is personal no big explosions or grand reveals, just the incremental dissolution of an abandoned project and a person s slow awakening to his own uselessness. Depicted in the distinctive, matter-of-fact style of his beloved Guardian strips, Mooncop is equal parts funny and melancholy. Gauld captures essential truths about humanity, making this a story of the past, present, and future, all in one.

A best-of collection of literary humour cartoons from the critically-acclaimed Guardian cartoonistIn his inimitable style, British cartoonist Tom Gauld has opened comics to a crossover audience and challenged perceptions of what the medium can be. Noted as a book-lover s cartoonist, Gauld s weekly strips in The Guardian, Britain s most well-regarded newspaper, stitch together the worlds of literary criticism and pop culture to create brilliantly executed, concise comics. Simultaneously silly and serious, Gauld adds an undeniable lightness to traditionally highbrow themes. From sarcastic panels about the health hazards of being a best-selling writer to a list of magical items for fantasy writers (such as the Amulet of Attraction, which summons mainstream acceptance, Hollywood money, and fresh coffee), Gauld s cartoons are timely and droll his trademark British humour, impeccable timing, and distinctive visual style sets him apart from the rest. Lauded both for his frequent contributions to New Scientist, The Guardian and The New York Times, and his Eisner-nominated graphic novels, Tom Gauld is one of the most celebrated cartoonists working today. In Baking with Kafka, he proves this with one witty, sly, ridiculous comic after another.

A side-splitting skewering of the sober world of STEM No one is safe when humorist and cartoonist Tom Gauld directs his hilarious gaze to your profession. Just as he did with writers, poets, and literary classics for the Guardian books page, Gauld now does with hapless scientists, nanobots, and puzzling theorems for his weekly New Scientist strip, the international magazine that covers all aspects of science and technology. Gauld's Department of Mind-Blowing Theories presents one hundred and fifty comic strips topical and funny enough to engage any layperson with a rudimentary recall of their old science classes as well as those who consider themselves boffins of the contemporary physical and natural world. A dog philosopher questions what it means to be a good boy while playing fetch! A virtual assistant and a robot-cleaner elope! The undiscovered species and the theoretical particle face existential despair! Facebook commenters debunk Darwin s posting of On the Origin of Species! Why are there poodles pouring out of this wormhole?!One could hypothesize how Gauld is able to command such quick-witted knowledge of the scientific world however, as these strips prove, Gauld would retaliate with the sharpest of punchlines to that hastily cobbled postulate. Gauld won an Eisner for Best Humor for Baking With Kafka and Department of Mind-Blowing Theories is sure to cement his reputation as the foremost authority on joke generating technology.

Tom Gauld returns with his wittiest and most trenchant collection of literary cartoons to date. Perfectly composed drawings are punctuated with the artist’s signature brand of humour, hitting high and low. After all, Gauld is just as comfortable taking jabs at Jane Eyre and Game of Thrones.Some particularly favoured targets include the pretentious procrastinating novelist, the commercial mercenary of the dispassionate editor, the willful obscurantism of the vainglorious poet. Quake in the presence of the stack of bedside books as it grows taller! Gnash your teeth at the ever-moving deadline that the writer never meets! Quail before the critic’s incisive dissection of the manuscript! And most importantly, seethe with envy at the paragon of creative productivity!Revenge of the Librarians contains even more murders, drubbings, and castigations than The Department of Mind-Blowing Theories, Baking For Kafka, or any other collections of mordant scribblings by the inimitably excellent Gauld.

Bestselling author Tom Gauld s comedic still life of a moon colony in decline now in paperback. Living on the moon . . . Whatever were we thinking? . . . It seems so silly now. The lunar colony is slowly winding down, like a small town circumvented by a brand-new super highway. Our hero, the Mooncop makes his daily rounds, his beat growing ever smaller as the population dwindles. His most pressing engagements: a young runaway who doesn t get very far, a dog breaking off his leash, and an out-of-date automaton wandering off from the Museum of the Moon. What s a man on the moon to do as human company gets harder and harder to come by? Now available in paperback for the first time, Tom Gauld s Mooncop is a prescient reflection on humanity besieged by late-stage capitalism and ever advancing technology. Equal parts funny and melancholy, Gauld s matter-of-fact storytelling is a testament to his dedication to the craft of cartooning.
