You just envy my reactive satchel

“You just envy my jet satchery” - a collection of stripes, that is, short comics that Tom Gold has been writing for The Guardian for more than 10 years. Gold"s humor is purely English: dry, caustic, understandable only to the initiates, and above all, bookworms. The main character and the object of ridicule here is the book as such. Having grown her legs, she goes for a walk and wanders into the fable, then to the future, then on the Internet, meets memes, dinosaurs, crazy scientists, Neanderthals, video games and robots binding.
Most of the jokes work in a clash of classics and modernity, as a result of which both of them turn out to be decent fools. So only a real big artist can mock Dickens, Shakespeare, sisters of Bronte
