"Reality is an illusion created entirely within the human mind. But it's the only place you can get a decent cup of coffee."

As a collector of cartoons and as a used-to-be scientist, this was greatly amusing to me. I even bought a copy of the book for my niece, a real scientist/teacher. I hope she enjoys it as much as I did.

Tom Gauld es un auténtico genio del humor inteligente y vuelve a demostrarlo en las 150 tiras que componen ‘El departamento de teorías alucinantes’, donde centra su mirada en las paradojas, ironías y situaciones cómicas del mundo de la(s) ciencia(s). Las figuras casi esquemáticas del autor se convierten en esta ocasión en astrónomos, dinosaurios, biólogos o células que representan con humor -a veces casi sardónico- situaciones propias de distintas disciplinas científicas, pero también vivencias humanas que nos son completamente contemporáneas. Tom Gauld demuestra que sigue existiendo un humor basado en estructuras sencillas, con sello de autor y disfrutable para todos los públicos.

This was a Birthday gift which was somewhat delayed due to Corona, but it was definitely worth the wait! I really enjoyed, as I always do with the comics of Tom Gauld.

They are funny in such a nice way, I cannot help but get a little smile upon my face whenever I think of them, or send them around to friends. This one being focused on science in a broad way, was something that made me like it extra.

Only small downside was that I already knew some of the comics, which can not be helped as I like to browse his social media.

Definitely recommended!

Soy totalmente subjetiva cuando se trata de Gauld y sus tiras cómicas sobre ciencia, laboratorios, ciencia ficción, viajes en el tiempo, robots, distopías y demás. Me parecen todas una genialidad y en esta recopilación creo que están la mayoría.

Got a real chuckle out of these. In the midst of all the scientist, physics, and space jokes, I really like the one about the moss vs. lichen. Hilarious.
