Yes, it looks like this.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Mooncop<\/strong>
by Tom Gauld
published by Drawn & Quarterly, Montreal<\/a>
2016<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Science-loving cartoonist\/illustrator Tom Gauld’s adorable style is evident again in Mooncop<\/em>, an accurately-titled, single story about… wait for it… a police officer who works on the moon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The story is a bit melancholy, as our protagonist is living his dream, while other humans have largely lost interest in the place. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s charming. It’s spare. The small gestures in Gauld’s style are very expressive. I really like Gauld’s practical-looking, modular architecture, periodically interrupted by transparent bubble domes. I like the boxiness of the robots. And the cover even has the title in fancy silver foil! It’s a nice little book.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
