Yesterday evening I went into London to meet with top-Johnny artist and all round lovely fellah Mr Tom Gauld. The reason? Two-fold really. Firstly, I wanted to catch him before a signing of his marvelous new book of cartoons You're All Just Jealous Of My Jetpack (and, of course, get my own signed copy).

But, more importantly, I wanted to say 'thanks' to him because he's only bloody gone and drawn the cover to my new book! Yes indeedy, the Connectoscope has an AMAZING cover by Tom and, today, I'm revealing it for the first time. Look! LOOK!

As I believe the young people say these days, totes amazeknackers.

I'm so excited. And I just can't hide it.
