Tom Gauld, Department of Mind-Blowing Theories. Montreal, Canada: Drawn and Quarterly, 2020. ISBN: 9781770463752. (Publisher link)
This is a collection of Tom Gauld cartoons focusing on science and scientists. If you've enjoyed his relatively minimalist art, you will probably enjoy this book. As in his other books, the humor varies. Some comics are funny, and others are just OK. The strips are published in color.
A few of my favorite comics include:
- The new journal issues out now.
- The smartspoon. If you are not a fan of "smart" appliances, you may appreciate this one.
- The "out of office" e-mail auto-reply.
- The virtual assistant and robot-cleaner.
Overall, I think the book is a nice, quick, and easy read. It is entertaining, but it is one to read and move on. If you need something light to read, this is a good option. On campus, your science faculty may particularly appreciate it.
3 out of 5 stars.
