Physics for Cats: Science Cartoons by Tom Gauld
Tom Gauld has a new collection of his science-based cartoons for the New Scientist, Physics for Cats, out this week.
Tom talked to the New York Times about the previous collection, Department of Mind-Blowing Theories, in 2020.

Friday Cartoons
Here are a couple of cartoons I saw this week that feel pretty representative of how things are going…
And this, by the late, great Sam Gross, is from the September 1, 1980 edition of The New Yorker.

Tom Gauld’s Winter Sun
I love Tom Gauld‘s latest cover for the New Yorker so much. We just had sleet and freezing rain in Toronto so that part is accurate. But it’s not just the weather. Everything feels pretty bleak at the moment and, like many others, I have found myself seeking solace in art too.
(I also have a dog. I should post more dog cartoons)

Recent Book Cartoons
As it is Friday afternoon here are a few recent book-related cartoons that I enjoyed…
Asher Perlman‘s collection of cartoons Well, This Is Me was published last year.
Grickle‘s kids graphic novel Eerie Tales from the School of Screams is weird and fun.
Tom Gauld‘s new collection of cartoons Physics for Cats will be out in the fall.

Tom Gauld for The Guardian.
This is pretty much me whenever we go on vacation, although I usually bring more anxiety to the mix.

Klaas Verplancke’s “Chilling”
Another lovely illustration by cartoonist Klaas Verplancke for the cover of the latest New Yorker. It has been an unseasonably hot June in Toronto!

Restless Spirit
Tom Gauld for The Guardian.
If I seem to be posting a lot about unread books and to-read piles, it is because I have a lot of unread books and a daunting to-read pile and I feel bad about it.
