Physics for Cats Launch Party With Tom Gauld

Tom Gauld, one of our absolute favourite cartoonists here at Gosh!, is revered by both our staff and no doubt most of our customers, with titles that are consitantly top-sellers here. You'll be familiar with his books Mooncop, Revenge of the Librarians and Department of Mind-Blowing Theories. Gauld has a brand new collection of science-based cartoons out, Physics for Cats, and it will be launching here at Gosh! on Thursday 9th October 2025, from 7-9pm. Tom's even made a limited mini-comic to accompany all sales of the book that is exclusive to us! Check it out here by clicking the link here. Here's a little about the new book from the publisher:

What happens to a cat who goes through a wormhole?

Tom Gauld returns with Physics for Cats, his second collection of science-based cartoons for the New Scientist. Find out why every scientist worth their sodium chloride has a Tom Gauld cartoon taped to their electron microscope. This new batch of hilarious gags will be as important to every self-respecting scientist as a lab coat and goggles and oversize rubber gloves.

Find out what the hadron’s news alert about CERN says! Everyone asks, “What is dark matter?” and “Where is dark matter?” but do they ever take the time to ask, “How is dark matter?” Based all on previous data, we can predict with a 99.99% certainty that you will either laugh, guffaw, chortle or snort (we don’t have a large enough sample set to be able to say which particular type of mirth you will experience.)

Meet Tom and celebrate the new release with us on Thursday 9th October, from 7pm. You can pre-order an exclusive edition of Physics for Cats that comes with the mini-comic from our website for mail-order or collection by clicking the link here.
