Sometimes I follow comics online, and as amusing as I find them, I never buy the physical copy of their books. Tom Gauld, who does comic strips for various publications, has a simple diagrammatic art style (which, while simple, does not look easy) and a humor that is so deadpan and wry that works on both lowbrow and highbrow subject matters, so I picked up his
Revenge of the Librarians.
His cartoons make me laugh - and when they don't, they make me wonder what I'm missing. I've included a couple of my favorites here.
Drawn in large part in 2020 during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, this book is also an entertaining little time capsule of a period in which a bunch of us were stuck with nothing but our books.
Highly recommended reading!
