four cartoons from the book...

Image: A scientist stands at the crossroads at midnight, he holds out a bowl to the devil who looks rather cross. Caption "Thanks to a typo in the contract, the professor gained complete mastery of all the knowledge in the heavens and the earth, in exchange for his soup." Text underneath reads: From 'Physics for Cats' by Tom Gauld - Order it at www.tomgauld.com Panel one, labelled "School Parents' Night": a girland her parents sit sadly in front of a teacher who is holding up the girl's grade, an "F". Panel two, labelled "Astronomy Conference": the same girl, now an adult, is being awarded a medal by a professor. The teacher and the professor share a speech bubble which crosses both panels saying "This is for spending all your time staring into space" Title: Soren Kierkegaard, 1843 Image: A three panel comic strip that shows Mr Kierkegaard saying "Life can only be understood backwards" as he walks from right to left through the three frames (i.e. against the usual order in which these panels would be read) A dog walks from left to right, saying: "But it must be lived forward". Text underneath reads: From 'Physics for Cats' by Tom Gauld - Order it at www.tomgauld.com A view of the International Space Station floating in the stars above the earth. A cat in a space suit floats outside. An astronaut within the station looks out of a window and says "In? But I just let you out."
