His weekly cartoons for the magazine New Scientist target scientific lore, jargon and stereotypes drawn from his skewed understanding of the theoretical and physical. In short, science buffs and skeptics alike will find cartoon joy in Gauld’s comical interpretations of physics, chemistry, astonomy and biology. When I started making these weekly cartoons for them, I was worried that the magazine’s scientifically eggheaded readers and writers would not enjoy my amateurish take on their specialism. I hope that my enthusiasm and respect for science come across in the cartoons and make up for any shortcomings in education. But I’ll be continuing with my weekly cartoons about science (in New Scientist) and books (in the Guardian) for the foreseeable future.
