" Mooncop [is a] light, rueful comedy, whose motor is the absence of anything happening [.] long, lovely silent passages.Even when dreams don't quite work out, the book suggests, it can still be possible to find beauty in them."-- The New York Times "This British cartoonist is a master of heightening humor through restraint."-- The Washington Post "Mooncop is a great exercise in restraint: a brief page count, panels with an Ernie Bushmiller level of minimalism, emotions expressed with body language and a few words.Gauld mixes sweetness and melancholy in a story that's slim but not slight."-- Paste " A short comic, but a resonant one.leave it to Gauld to find the quiet bit of poetry in bad news.
"-- GQ "Cool, serene, and funny. like a Jim Jarmusch view of a fiercely inglorious future."-- Publishers Weekl y "In Gauld's hands, even the moon. is really just another setting for a beautifully-observed story of daily life, its worries and frustrations."-- Creative Review "Gauld['s] minimalist aesthetic and deadpan sense of humor . work wonderfully together to bring levity to the emotional crisis in these pages."-- The AV Club "The subject and setting [of Mooncop ] are perfectly suited for the artist who has steadfastly developed an impressively dry, quietly absurd sense of humor."--Noah Van Sciver, The Comics Journal "At its heart, Mooncop provides an optimistic, rich metaphor for life.
a fun, clever meditation on what it means to be human."-- Nerdist "The humor in Mooncop is quieter, sadder, more humane . the detail [Gauld] packs into each panel is gorgeous: the empty landscape of the moon is made up of thousands of tiny wiggly lines, a sea of stone set against an indigo sky."-- The Seattle Review of Books "[ Mooncop is] as slight and lovely as its themes are ponderous and difficult. This is a small book with a big heart, and it sticks with you."-- Flood Magazine "Slice-of-life science fiction and masterful cartooning make this a can't-miss release."-- Blastr.
