Tom Gauld | Bluesky
Transcript
A cartoon in which the speech bubbles are categorised by colour.
Panel 1: A man cooks dinner for a woman who is looking at his bookshelves. He calls from the kitchen”I hope you’re not judging me on my bookshelves?” (Blue) She replies “Haha, no!” (Orange)
Panel 2: She takes a book off the shelf and asks “Have you read all of these?” (Blue) He replies “Of course!” (Orange)
Panel 3: she leafs through the book and asks “Can I borrow this?’ (Blue) He replies “Sure, I love lending my books!” (Orange)
The key below explains that Blue represents a question and orange represents a lie.


I hope this is just a funny comic, and not Tom Gauld’s perspectives on books on a shelf.
Books? You mean the shelf trophies for my ebooks/audiobooks?
can’t wait to afford a mocap room to make my own SL video library.🤩
I hope you’re not judging Tom on his perspectives on bookshelves?
How else do you judge someone that made a 3 panel comic about books on a shelf?
