by Tom Gauld

Tom Gauld's illustrations the Guardian Saturday Review letters page. "Each image relates to a letter sent to the newspaper about literature or the arts."

~ via Making Light, where I also found these intriguing recipes for Cold Weather Drinks and a sidebar of Commonplaces with these gems:

• "The whole point of society is to be less unforgiving than nature." (Arthur D. Hlavaty)
• "But isn't all of human history simultaneously a disaster novel and a celebrity gossip column?" (Anonymous LJ commenter)
• "Tradition is not the worship of ashes, but the preservation of fire." (Gustav Mahler)
