Revenge of the Librarians

Tom Gauld’s Revenge of the Librarians (2022–present, Drawn & Quarterly) collects his beloved, weekly New Yorker-style cartoons celebrating the quiet joys and absurdities of books, reading, and the people who love them. Gauld, the series’ sole writer and artist, distills a librarian’s sly wit and a cartoonist’s minimalist charm into single-page gags that have made this an essential, laugh-out-loud ode to literary life.
