Sikoryak, Michael Kupperman, & Kate Beaton.”--NPR, Best Books of 2013A new collection from the ” Guardian” and” New York Times Magazine” cartoonist The ” New York Times Magazine” cartoonist Tom Gauld follows up his widely praised graphic novel ” Goliath” with ” You`re All Just Jealous of My Jetpack, ” a collection of cartoons made for ” The Guardian.” Over the past eight years, Gauld has produced a weekly cartoon for the Saturday Review section of Britain`s best-regarded newspaper.
