I adore the Sarah Scribbles books! For someone who isn't an artist, but who has anxiety, it's nice to have her illustrations and comics to give a visual to what I feel - and let me know that I'm not alone. This is definitely another great instalment to the Sarah Scribbles series and one that many people will enjoy.
I also really loved the last part of the book, where Sarah talks about creativity and how to create when you're not only an introvert, but also how to create in today's world. Her cartoons might be about being an artist, but they will still connect with people who aren't artists, maybe who are introverts, and even just people who might just need to be reassured that they're not alone.

This collection of comics is insightful, hilarious, and provides really useful tools for aspiring creatives. Even if drawing isn't your thing, the advice contained in these pages can be applied to any and all facets of your life. Really solid book, as I've come to expect from Sarah Andersen.

Sarah Andersen’s Herding Cats is a hilarious, endearing and extremely relatable collection of simple but effectively drawn comics.

I absolutely love this witty and fun collection! The cute comics depict Sarah’s life as she attempts to adult while being a socially awkward introvert. The situations are relatable, honest and so applicable to life today. I constantly found myself laughing out loud and nodding in agreement as adorably scruffy little cartoon Sarah bumbles through the dark, light, and in-between moments of everyday life. She intersperses strips of self-loathing and crushing anxiety with the all-too familiar curse of procrastination, the undying love for the furry animal friends in our lives as well as the absolutely relatable desire to show off your freshly shaved leg by sticking it in someone’s face.

The book also includes a really sweet and helpful guide for the young artist. Sarah’s advice is brief but sufficient, well-written and extremely applicable to all creative people whether you’re a graphic artist or a writer. I also like that she includes some adorable comic strips with her advice.

I would absolutely recommend Herding Cats to everyone! It’s funny, poignant, and extremely relatable. It’s also a super quick read and I guarantee you’ll be returning to it again and again. Sarah Andersen so pitch perfectly captures the little moments that it feels like she’s gotten into your head. I’ve always been a fan of her work and she’s never disappointed me. I can’t wait to see what else she puts out in the future!

Thank you to NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for this book in exchange for an honest review.

Sarah Andersen does it again!!!

I love Andersen's comics. They're short, they're funny and above all else, they are completely relatable! Maybe it's cause I am also an introvert, socially awkward, prefer the company of animals in comparison to strange people I don't know, think one thing and say another outloud, and have the best time when it's just me and myself. Whatever it is, I simply love Sarah Andersen because she speaks to my soul.

Love it! Just delightful. I know a lot of people who'd really enjoy these cute cartoons.

I follow Sarah Andersen on Instagram and I always find her comics to be hilariously relatable. Since I own two cats of my own, I found myself wanting to show my boyfriend them constantly because they were so alike instances that we experience daily.

Herding Cats was the third graphic novel Sarah Anderson has released and it was honestly my favorite. I laughed out loud at almost every page and found it to be all too relatable. Her simplistic style is so captivating and I can't help but adore it.

This book specifically celebrated what it's like to be an artistic introvert in a world full of deadlines and social environments. I especially appreciated the "Guide for the Young Creative" section at the end. It gave me hope that things will get better, it's normal to feel this way, and that I'm not alone.

I can't praise this book enough; I will absolutely be purchasing a finished copy for myself and several friends!

So funny! I've read many of her comics on the internet and I just loved to have a bunch of them in a book. Sarah is so relatable. I found myself laughing out loud many times.

As always, Sarah Andersen's cartoons are hilariously relatable. There were at least half a dozen that I wanted to show to a friend and say "This is so me/us!" I do wish that it was longer, and I am not the target audience for the section at the end directed towards other aspiring artists, but overall this is a solid addition to any contemporary collection of cartoons and should be popular with the underserved 30-something set at libraries.

I want to be Sarah Anderson's best friend.

Her 3rd instalment in the Sarah's Scribbles series is replete with laugh-out-loud worthy comics. I mean, you won't laugh at each comic, but maybe at every 3rd one you will let out a guilty giggle, and every 5th one will make you lol. At the end, there is a very valuable essay for artists and creative people (like me, ahem).

I have the physical copy of the first book, a digital copy of the second and now this review e-copy of the third. I would definitely one day like to own the physical copies of all the instalments, maybe once the boxset is out

I've been a big fan of Sarah's Scribbles. This book was no different. It had the humor and it was very relateable.

We get to see 'Sarah'- the girl with messy hair and big eyes in situations we have found ourselves in more than we would like to admit. 

Andersen's art is just adorable. the comic panels are clean and to the point, and it is a quick read while still being entertaining.

Overall: 4 out of 5 stars (I expected more cat-related comics)

This book was similar to Andersen's other books. Hilarious and light-hearted, while covering some heavy issues that many millennials face. She gives advice to aspiring artists and has relatable and inspirational input on the internet.

I always find Sarah Anderson’s comics very cute, entertaining, funny and totally relatable! These comic strips are always a welcome break from my current reading challenges and novels and I’m usually left with a smile on my face. I read this last year to take a break from my books so this is a delayed review :D

A view of this new age world from an introverted creative with the comics featuring an emphasis on creativity within the internet age, internet trolling and of course animals is what Herding Cats is all about! I didn’t rate this as high as the others but I thoroughly enjoyed it nonetheless!

*Thank-you Sarah Anderson, Netgalley & Andrews McMeel Publishing for the ARC.

3.5 out of 5 stars

This wasn't my favorite collection but it was certainly enjoyable because I also have pets. I really liked the stuff about the animals and things but I felt that some of the other stuff just didn't seem to fit into the overall theme. One thing I did glean from this is to say just because you CAN be mean on the internet doesn't mean you SHOULD. But constructive criticism is necessary for growth so if you must criticize be kind. I really enjoyed a lot of the writing and it was a quick and fun read. I would recommend this book.

Thank you to NetGalley and artist Sarah Andersen for providing me with an ARC of Sarah's Scribbles.

This is another wonderful addition to Sarah's previous collections of comic strips. Sarah has a knack for capturing everyday anxiety in a humorous and non threatening manner. Her drawings are honest and relatable even for those who may be shy or slightly uncomfortable in crowds and feel most comfortable in a bookstore or home with a furry pal.

What I enjoyed most about her latest offering, is Sarah's heartfelt advice to budding artists or humans just wanting to survive and create in an often hostile world. Definitely a collection to check out and add to your library!

Got a solid number of laughs from the collection of comics from Sarah Andersen . She has a few gems, but you can definitely see the same old gimmicks used over and over again, and some of them fall stale.

The last bit of the collection, which I believe was about not letting other people and their opinions/comments affect your art, was maybe helpful to aspiring artists, but it didn't do much for me. Kinda the same old advice all artists of any kind give to any aspiring artist of any kind.

I enjoyed these page-long cartoons. Many of them were very funny and relatable, but I wish they were in an order that makes sense. Some of them jumped to such different topics that it was confusing to read in sequence. However, the repeated themes and facial expressions gave a sense of cohesion anyway. The author/artist has a wonderful sense of humor as she often puts herself down and puts her life in perspective.

This is up to the author/illustrator’s usual high standards – the drawings always make me smile as Andersen takes 4 or fewer panels to show you universal truths about being an adult. Her work is always funny and creative, and something I love to share with my husband when he’s trying to go to sleep.

The little surprise bonus in this book was a chapter at the end, encouraging artists to ‘make stuff’ and try to ignore the world of negativity hiding out there in the internet, waiting to piss on your parade. It’s especially great to see this from an artist whose work I’ve mostly read online, she’s well versed with the casual ‘I hate everything you’ve ever drawn’ hate that people like to share when they can’t look you in the eye so the advice is very genuine.

Another funny collection from Sarah Anderson - fans of her first two books will be pleased. This comics look at introverted people and how they choose to interact with the world, in an honest, funny and not mean manner, The second half contains tips for artists, which I believe people looking to become artists or have their comics or books published will find useful. I think her books are great anytime someone needs a good laugh. This book still gets five stars but the tips and everything at the end I did not enjoy that bit as much as the rest of the book. They will be useful and informative for others though I am sure.
