Mooncop FOC November 2, 2026

Bestselling author Tom Gauld’s comedic still life of a moon colony in decline–now in paperback."Living on the moon . . . Whatever were we thinking? . . . It seems so silly now."The lunar colony is slowly winding down, like a small town circumvented by a brand-new super highway. Our hero, the Mooncop makes his daily rounds, his beat growing ever smaller as the population dwindles. His most pressing engagements: a young runaway who doesn’t get very far, a dog breaking off his leash, and an out-of-date automaton wandering off from the Museum of the Moon. What’s a man on the moon to do as human company gets harder and harder to come by?Now available in paperback for the first time, Tom Gauld’s Mooncop is a prescient reflection on humanity besieged by late-stage capitalism and ever advancing technology. Equal parts funny and melancholy, Gauld’s matter-of-fact storytelling is a testament to his dedication to the craft of cartooning.
