Tom Gauld never ceases to delight! His clever wit and sense of humor are so unique and relatable. This was a great addition!

I love Tom Gauld's work soo much, my friends love his work, my coworkers love is work, he's one of those artists whose comics we show each other and all find funny. Did I kind of hope there would be more cat comics, with that title? Sure. But I was NOT disappointed.

Gauld is a master of the one page/low panel amount funny comic, and it really shows here in this science and cat focused collection.

Disclaimer: No cats were harmed in the making of this review.

Tom Gauld has collected another set of his one-panel science cartoons under the title of Physics for Cats. The fun starts with the cover and keeps up the fun through out the book. A call out to Faust appears early in the book as does Soren Kerkegaard and The Seventh Seal. Academics and online irritations make the cut as well has updated weather symbols. But my two favorite cartoons cover the concept of plagiarism and role-playing in real life. So if you want to laugh or at least smile, pick up this title!

Thanks Netgalley and Drawn & Quarterly for the chance to read this title!

In this collection of one page comics, Physics for Cats features humorous quips from a variety of scientific disciplines, from archeology to astronomy. It was a fun read, although because I am not super into science, some of the jokes admittedly went over my head. It also could have used more jokes featuring cats, like the title suggests. But overall, this was a funny and clever collection that is sure to have you laughing most of the time.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for an advanced reader’s copy in exchange for an honest review!

I am a big fan of Tom Gauld. I'm a librarian, and you can probably guess my favorite of his comic collections: Revenge of the Librarians. I also adore The Little Wooden Robot and the Log Princess by Tom Gauld. I hope he will do more picture books in the future. I wasn't so sure that Physics for Cats would be for me. Cats, I get but physics...I'm not so good at science stuff. I am happy to tell you that no advanced scientific knowledge is necessary to enjoy these sly, witty comics. I also appreciate Gauld's unique artistic style, which is both simple and detailed at the same time. Don't ask me to explain that. Just get Physics for Cats and read it for yourself. You can thank me later.

Thank you to NetGalley for my Advanced Reader's Copy of this book.

This was a fun little read. I recommend to anyone who loves science and science related humor. I plan on buying this book for my scientist father later this year.

is a fun and interesting exploration of physics topics. I had my doubts, but it's very good!

As always Tom has made me laugh, chuckle to myself and smile from ear to hear. His books never fail to bring me joy. Sometimes the panels are “simplistic” but others are more busy and have lots going on but it always works so well. I take my time reading and savouring his work because I don’t want it to end. I follow him on social media and always thrilled when he posts the recent work he did for the Guardian…so much fun.

I have been a fan of Gauld since
first seeing his
quirky, esoteric
but utterly brilliant
comics pop up of Facebook.

All at once his work if
intelectual, literary,
high and both low brow.

Most of all these comics
are unique and
totally hilarious.

Very cute comics for those who like to think, whether or not they are scientists. Gauld dry humor is a wonderful antidote to anti-science thinking!

This is a collection of funny, goofy, and science-y comics from Tom Gauld, great for people who are already fans of his comics, or anyone with a bit of a science background looking for a laugh. Revenge of the Librarians is a favorite in our house, and this is another great bunch of comics, focused now on the lives and imaginations of scientists of all sorts. (I personally would have loved more cats — but still enjoyed reading through all of the comics!)

Very silly. It is genius in its simplicity. So many of the sciences were included. I know I didn't get all of the jokes, but since there were so many different disciplines I was able to understand others.

4 stars

This is a lighthearted and hilarious collection of science comics- perhaps the first of its kind! Would make a wonderful gift for anyone working in the field, or anyone that loves smarty-pants comedy.

I've seen work by this creator online and always enjoy them. The details are simple but robust-- each cell is perfect, just the right amount of illustration to convey the scene and the joke. For readers of xkcd.

eARC from NetGalley.

As someone who knows NOTHING about science, I still found these comics really fun and informative. It reminded me a lot of The Far Side Comics by Gary Larson.
