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.

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

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.

Too Many Books?

Bluebeard by Tom Gauld
This, but for my personal art and design projects, and my actual proper job.
(Tom Gauld for The Guardian, obviously. Tom is currently selling some original drawings in his shop if you would like to own one of his masterpieces)

New Stamps Celebrate Canadian Graphic Novelists
Canada Post is celebrating Canadian graphic novels with a set of stamps created by Chester Brown, Michel Rabagliati, Seth, and Jillian Tamaki and Mariko Tamaki.
While Canada Post has previously issued stamps featuring superheroes, it hasn’t specifically showcased the work of contemporary Canadian cartoonists before. These new stamps feature original drawings by each of the artists depicting their best known characters reading the books they’re in.
As a side note, I don’t know how well known Michel Rabagliati is outside of Canada (I’m actually not sure how well known he is in Anglo-Canada either come to that!), but his gentle semi-autobiographical graphic novels are all lovely. They’re beautiful drawn. Paul Moves Out, the first one I read, is a charming look at studying illustration and graphic design in Montreal the 1970s. It was published in English by Drawn & Quarterly back in the day, but it looks like it might be out of print, which would be a shame. Anyway, worth trying to find a copy if you can.

Time Left Before the Heat Death of the Universe
I feel like I’ve posting a lot about to-read piles recently. It’s mostly because I feel guilty for not reading more.
