I love Sarah Andersen's comics. So I was super excited when I heard about the third comic in this series. Even though I enjoyed Herding Cats a lot, I didn't love it as much as the last two. There were a handful of scribbles that were super relatable and had me laughing out loud. I feel like there is enough material in this comic that any person could relate too. The illustration is simple, short and funny. I am not a huge comic/graphic novel reader, but I would devour Sarah's Scribbles type of comics. You can read them whenever and I am sure that you will want to share the comics with your friends, family and on social media to express yourself. There are like 10+ scribbles I want to post on Instagram right away.

This is the third book I have read by Sarah Anderson and I think this one may be my favorite so far. I enjoyed it so much more than her second one. I love that she uses her art to let others who are introverted, into fandom, love reading that they are not alone out there. Her slight obsession with cute animals hits a little too close to home though.

I personally adore Sarah Andersen's comics. I think her art is really fun and playful, but most importantly so relatable. I find myself in most of her work and I can always relate to the stuff she puts out. She is really good at capturing.... well, life in general, especially of a 20-something year old. And most of her work is really good-natured and hopeful and I really enjoy that. This is all true for this collection. It made me laugh out loud and I really appreciate that, because not a lot of stuff does. It's a really unique quality of her work. Most of it is due to the fact that it's so true, that you can't help but laugh. While I've seen most of these comics online, some stuff is new to me and I loved when it's all wrapped up nicely in one collection! Oh and the second part of the collection, where she gives advice to people looking to post their art online can be really helpful, especially for some younger people that are just starting out. I found it to be really insightful, plus I think it works for any sort of content online, not just comics themselves. Really enjoyed it as always.

I love Sarah Andersen books and I’m so pleased to see there’s a third one coming. Her profile is growing in the UK and would benefit from offline marketing. This book features a bit more serious advice than her other two, which I didn’t enjoy as much as the comics. However, a lot of her followers are young people inspired by her success so I am sure there is demand for this.

I chanced upon this book at the start of my day in the NetGalley catalog and was very happy about this discovery. I proceeded to download and read it almost immediately.

This book is a collection of her individual comics ( on instagram/facebook and elsewhere),  a few I personally had not seen before. The beauty of the panels are that most of them are instinctively relatable with subtle humour. For those who have seen or been in some of those situations, the punch line is apparent. This book comes in two parts though, with one part being the panels. The second part is encouragement to deal with trying to do something in this interconnected world where everyone has an opinion, some of which you want and others not. This section is also accompanied by associated comics which help drive the point in the usual laid back style.

This book is definitely for the die-hard fans of the author. For those who are new, it can still be a great experience.

Sarah Andersen is a brilliant and hilarious artist who is always so relatable. She had me grinning and smiling at every page. I know so many people who would love this and her collection too!

So, this wasn't really my sort of thing. The first part of the book was cute. There were a few comics that made me smile or giggle. Mostly, they are just scenes from life put on paper. I think that a lot of people can relate to them, whether or not they find them funny.

The next part of the book was a lot less interesting to me. Sarah reaches out to people that may want to become artists to give them some advice and encouragement. I agree with a lot of her thoughts, but it just didn't relate to me. I'm an older adult (pretty sure she's around the age of my kids), so having an 'adult' talk to me about the internet and life choices, etc was a little weird. I think for kids, particularly those interested in art, it would be good. But, for me, it just didn't work.

This is the first comic I read by Sarah Anderson and it was basically what I expected it to be until the end. I'll try another of her books, but honestly, I've seen a few of her comics outside of books and they seem to all be very similar. I'm not just talking about style here. I mean the content is pretty much the same. I'm not someone that loves repetition, so I probably won't follow too much of her work. I'm thinking I may not be the target audience anyway.
