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.
