Three-Second Thoughts

Matt Golding

Cerebral, satirical, and often downright hilarious, Matt Golding is one of our wittiest observers of modern life. His beautifully drawn cartoons, with their distinctive wash style, can be found on fridge doors and noticeboards all over the country.

Three-Second Thoughts is a brilliant new collection of wry and perceptive observations about how we live, work, and play — sophisticated silliness of the highest order from one of Australia’s favourite cartoonists.
