Baking with Kafka #[nn]
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeA collection of short, whimsical comic strips that blend the mundane frustrations of daily life with surreal literary and pop culture references, often featuring a hapless protagonist navigating awkward social situations and existential dread. Originally serialized online, this volume gathers the strips into a single edition from Drawn & Quarterly, showcasing Gauld's signature deadpan humor and minimalist art style.
In "Time-Travel Adventure," Tom Gauld delivers a quietly absurd and perfectly paced tale of two insects navigating the quiet tension between isolation and connection. With his signature deadpan wit and crisp, minimalist art, Gauld explores the quiet drama of a Sensible Caterpillar building a wall to keep out strangers—while the Stupid Beetle, ever cheerful, invites them in with open arms. A 21.95 CAD comic from 2017, this story is drawn, inked, colored, and lettered by Tom Gauld, with cover art by him as well.
