Tom Gauld has created countless iconic strips for the Guardian over the course of his
illustrious career. A master of condensing grand highbrow themes into panel comics his weekly
strips embody his trademark sense of humour while simultaneously opening comics to an audience
unfamiliar with the artistry that cartooning has to offer. Funny but serious these comics
allow Gauld to put his impressive knowledge of history literature and pop culture on full
display - his impeccable timing and distinctive visual style setting him apart from the
rest.This postcard set celebrates more than a decade of Gauld's contributions to the Guardian
with fifty of his most beloved strips on everything from Samuel Beckett's sitcom pitches (such
as Waiting for Kramer a show where two men await the arrival of a man named Kramer who never
comes) 'Procrastination for Creative Writers a 10-Week Course' and 'Poetry Anthologies for
People Who Don't Like Poems'. Witty and beautifully drawn The Snooty Bookshop will make you
laugh at least fifty times guaranteed.
