THIS WAS SO CUTE I AM DECEASED. Such a simple, yet touching story told in few words but with beautiful and powerful illustrations. A real testament to the power of relationships and human connections.

It’s beautifully drawn, it’s quiet, it’s reflective. It’s an interesting and casual imagining of a future where we escape earth but we don’t escape bureaucracy or being social creatures. It’s sweet. It’s part of the Notion library!

A quick graphic novel about a cop on the moon in a time of mass exodus. The drawings are lovely and really set the tone. Plus there is a moon dog... in a bubble.

Hey Tom Gauld predicted LLMs and jobs being replaced by machines in 2016!

Amazing art, very sad and utterly relatable story.

This must be my first graphic novel in like 15 years. I want to read more types of books and as soon as I saw Mooncop, I moved it straight to my TBR. The art style is adorable, the story is both funny and sad. I liked how it was so mundane but in a great, or what one assumes to be great, setting.
