Summary
'Tom Gauld is always funny， but he's funny in a way that makes you feel smarter。 Which is especially useful when he's being funny about science' Neil Gaiman
A dog philosopher questions what it really means to be a 'good boy'。 A virtual assistant and a robot-cleaner elope。 The undiscovered species and the theoretical particle face existential despair。
Just as he did with writers， poets and literary classics in Baking with Kafka， Gauld now does with hapless scientists， nanobots， and puzzling theorems - with comic strips funny enough to engage science boffins and novices alike。

Disegni stupendi e adorabili。 Piccole pillole di genialità。

Śmieszne， choć dłuższe historie autora （Goliat， Mooncop） były również mądre。

My third Gauld。 Loved this collection of science-themed cartoons。 Wish my libraries had all his books。

Smart and funny and cute science themed collection of cartoons， with which I had a lot of fun。 Not really "OH， HAHAHA HAHA HAHA！" funny， but kind of funny I would love to keep on my imaginary coffee table and come back to from time to time。 Some of them were genuinely brilliant。 Smart and funny and cute science themed collection of cartoons， with which I had a lot of fun。 Not really "OH， HAHAHA HAHA HAHA！" funny， but kind of funny I would love to keep on my imaginary coffee table and come back to from time to time。 Some of them were genuinely brilliant。 。。。more

Y’all， these science comics are funnier than Far Side and I do NOT say that lightly。

Gary Larson is the artist I most associate with science cartoons， of course。 But this is a very good collection， too; Here's a review that shares some of his work in it， work that makes me smile:https://www。commonscomics。com/2020/de。。。I liked Gauld's literary cartoons， Baking with Kafka， but this one I actually liked a bit better as it seems more coherent， and a bit funnier。 I smiled quite a bit throughout， and admire the formal elegance of his line work， in its simplicity， a touch of Edward Gor Gary Larson is the artist I most associate with science cartoons， of course。 But this is a very good collection， too; Here's a review that shares some of his work in it， work that makes me smile:https://www。commonscomics。com/2020/de。。。I liked Gauld's literary cartoons， Baking with Kafka， but this one I actually liked a bit better as it seems more coherent， and a bit funnier。 I smiled quite a bit throughout， and admire the formal elegance of his line work， in its simplicity， a touch of Edward Gorey in it。 。。。more

Soy totalmente subjetiva cuando se trata de Gauld y sus tiras cómicas sobre ciencia， laboratorios， ciencia ficción， viajes en el tiempo， robots， distopías y demás。 Me parecen todas una genialidad y en esta recopilación creo que están la mayoría。

Che dire， fare vignette sulla ricerca scientifica sembrava un'abilità impensabile prima di Tom Gauld， ma per fortuna è stata inventata 💕 Che dire， fare vignette sulla ricerca scientifica sembrava un'abilità impensabile prima di Tom Gauld， ma per fortuna è stata inventata 💕 。。。more

Muy entretenido y de una imaginación visceral

Tom Gauld and I must share a similar sense of humor because I laugh so hard over his cartoons。

Olen törmännyt sosiaalisessa mediassa Tom Gauldin sarjakuviin ja pitänyt niitä aika hauskoina， mutta "Department of Mind-Blowing Theories" （Drawn and Quarterly， 2020） oli ensimmäinen lukemani albumi。 Ja kyllä， hymyilyttävä pakkaushan tämä tiedesarjakuvia sisältävä kirjanen oli！ Luulisin， että ainakin Gary Larsonin fanit voisivat tästä tykätä。 Olen törmännyt sosiaalisessa mediassa Tom Gauldin sarjakuviin ja pitänyt niitä aika hauskoina， mutta "Department of Mind-Blowing Theories" （Drawn and Quarterly， 2020） oli ensimmäinen lukemani albumi。 Ja kyllä， hymyilyttävä pakkaushan tämä tiedesarjakuvia sisältävä kirjanen oli！ Luulisin， että ainakin Gary Larsonin fanit voisivat tästä tykätä。 。。。more

Terrific。 Poking fun at scientists and the ignorant。 90% funny， 80% thought-provoking。

Reminds me of Sidney Harris back in the day， geeky/erudite humour without being obscure the way XKCD is sometimes。 A couple were sufficiently On Point to circulate at work， but the author has some twitter presence and you can find some of them for forwarding around。。。

Anyone interested in humor comics should make themselves familiar with Tom Gauld's unconventional and often hilarious cartoons。 I love his simple drawing style， which blends perfectly with his brand of humor。 Anyone interested in humor comics should make themselves familiar with Tom Gauld's unconventional and often hilarious cartoons。 I love his simple drawing style， which blends perfectly with his brand of humor。 。。。more

Fun book。 Some of the comics were very creative and insightful。 Shows strength and weakness of science。

This book is a collection of science cartoons。 Some were funny， some were clever， and some were both！ I think this would make a great gift for science teachers and science enthusiasts。 I think this would also make a great coffee table book。

Serie di vignette simpatiche a tema scientifico
Marc Pastor

Una genialitat。 Totes les vinyetes són divertides。 Algunes， fins i tot， són molt i molt enginyoses。Humor sobre experiments científics， sobre la lluita entre la raó i la superstició， sobre la gent que treballa en laboratoris， sobre teories estranyíssimes。。。Tom Gauld és un geni。

Spiritoso e arguto come pochi。 Perfetto per chi ama la scienza。 Da tenere sottomano e sfogliare nella pausa caffè
