Didn't enjoy it as much as Baking with Kafka, but still fun. ( )

Quality as always from Tom Gauld ( )

I love Tom Gauld's bookish cartoons, but I just might love his science cartoons even more. They are clever and playful, and they cover a variety of sciences. They make fun of science fiction, the work of scientists, and even scientific communication -- one of my favourite comics in this collection, the one called "Presenting my findings with infographics", is up on the wall in my office. Highly recommended for science folks in your circle. ( )

Tom Gauld's science cartoons aren't as funny to me as the book and literary humor in his Baking with Kafka collection, but they are still pretty darn amusing. ( )
