Department of Mind-Blowing Theories

The previous post about the latest cover of the NYT Magazine reminded me that Tom Gauld‘s cartoons for New Scientist magazine (like the one above, although maybe not actually the one above because it’s new!) are going to be available in book form. Department of Mind-Blowing Theories will be available in April!

Reader’s Block

I’ve been in a bit of reading slump of late so I can relate to this recent cartoon by Grant Snider for the New York Times Books Review (although, thankfully, I’ve not been banned from the library!).

Grant has a couple of new books coming out that are available for pre-order. What Color is Night? will be published by Chronicle Kids in November, and I Will Judge You by Your Bookshelf will be published by Abrams in April 2020.

Fiction / Nonfiction

Joe Dator for The New Yorker.

(I feel like this is a variation on a gag that has been going around independent bookstores for a while now, but it gets more accurate by the day. I guess we have to laugh or we will cry, right?)

Samuel Beckett Advent Calendar

Tom Gauld for The Guardian.

For some reason the Samuel Beckett Advent Calendar reminds me of the Half Man Half Biscuit song Joy Division Oven Gloves. 

Tom has a new postcard book The Snooty Bookshop out now.
