3.75 stars, rounded up because it got 3 belly laughs from me.

This book is divided into 2 unequal halves-- the first is classic Sarah comics. Funny, animal-loving, mental-health-advocating humor. Great. The second, though, is where Sarah really shines. Framed as sort of artists' advice, sort of self-help, she intersperses thick chunks of prose with illustrative comics. What a delight! Even non-writers and non-artists will be able to relate, be inspired, and perhaps even pick up the pencil and MAKE SOMETHING!

Really nice. May have to go back and check out the first 2 in the series!

*thank you to Netgalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review*

1 star.
I just didn't get it. The humorous was lost on me. While there were 3 pages I liked, the rest I didn't find funny at all. I seem to be the odd one out here with this book as it's been getting rather quite high reviews. But, everyone is different. Because I didn't like it, I don't really have anything to say about it. It wasn't bad, just not funny for me.

Sarah Andersen returns with another Sarah’s Scribbles book - and unfortunately it’s one too many. Looking for a series of trite, lazy, uninspired and unfunny observations, cascading one after another likes waves of diarrhea? Herding Cats is for you!

The book is jam-packed with way too many vacuous strips about how much Sarah: loves cats and dogs, likes Halloween, is anxious in general, hates but can’t avoid procrastinating, hates periods, and thinks the internet is a out-of-control dumpster fire. There are also strips about not being a morning person, having bad posture, not liking winter for being cold, and enjoying cutting wrapping paper with scissors(!?).

Her previous two books were amusing but Andersen’s gone back to well too many times now for it to still be entertaining. She really needs to come up with some new ideas because everything here is stale, repetitive, witless and formulaic. She tries something slightly different at the end by including a vapid and uninspiring longer-form guide for budding artists which amounts to her telling them to ignore everyone and keep trying - it’s just more obvious, unoriginal crap.

Sarah Andersen’s first couple books are fun and worth a look but all Herding Cats shows is that she can only do the same thing for so long before her schtick becomes tedious and played out. A collection of inane, worthless and boring strips about nothing.

A very funny compilation. I've seen some of these panels floating around tumblr before, but they are just as funny a second time. Some of the comics were painfully true, and I recognize myself in the murderous mess of the woman who has long, painful periods. My cat also doesn't know her name for all the nicknames and nonsense I call her. This book probably will appeal to millennials most of all, but some of the truths will make women of any age chuckle. Very cute!

Hilarious yet hits so close to home. This was the first Sarah's Scribbles I have read, even though I have seen many a post on Facebook/Twitter including some of her previous comics, and I look forward to more of her quirkiness and humor.

I really like - and relate to - Andersen's work, so I enjoyed this one. Your own enjoyment of it will very likely be proportional to how much you like cats and how frequently you experience crushing existential dread...and how much you do or do not like Andersen's work in general, of course.

I've read her stuff online, but not in a published book until now, so I can't really say how it compares with the other two volumes. Included in this one is a brief, comic-filled essay about making art in an age when people use the kinda-sorta anonymity of the internet to be huge jerks, which I ended up liking after initially being (mildly) disappointed that there were fewer comics in here than I thought there would be.

This is my first read from Sarah Anderson's graphic novels, and I enjoyed it. Although through her clearly illustrated and written thoughts, Sarah is a millennial, I believe she grasped everyday life for me where I’m not a millennial. She speaks of the internet, social media, and how we need to move past the negativity to become better artists. We can become better people. Sarah uses her illustrations and humor to capture situations in life so we can reflect and laugh at ourselves. I recommend this book and I am looking forward to reading others because sometimes I just need a good belly laugh.

Thank you Netgalley for providing me with this novel.

Adulting is hard and Sarah Andersen illustrates this in a quirky way using a girl whose forays into trying to be grown up I don’t always understand, but can definitely appreciate. Nonetheless, her illustrations are so relatable, so down-to-earth and they always catch me by surprise. Long live the scribbles!

Yet another funny and enjoyable book from Sarah's Scribbles. Loved it loved it LOVED IT!

Another delightful installment by Sarah Andersen. So much goodness here. I found myself laughing out loud many times.

I just really love this artist, all her comics are very very relatable to me. And pretty much relatable to everyone I know

Herding Cats by Sarah Anderson is a wonderful collection of relatable and hilarious comics. Each page is filled with adorable truths about life and is perfect for young people today.
I really loved this one. I've been a big fan of Sarah Anderson for a while and I absolutely love her work. This new collection is especially wonderful because of the advise and guidance that Anderson gives in the book. The wonder of Anderson's work lies in the perfectly accurate metaphors for the wonders and struggles of daily life that Anderson is known for. I can't recommend this enough.

I received a copy of this book to read from NetGalley in exchange for a fair review. Herding Cats is a collection of cartoons that make me laugh and make me wonder how did she get inside my head? I think her cartoons are important because as well as being entertaining they make you think and they also tell you that you are not the only one who feels that way. Sarah Anderson’s ability to distill big ideas into four little squares and still make you laugh about it leaves me awestruck. I highly recommend this book.

I enjoyed the other two books in this series and was thrilled to see Sarah's latest up on Netgalley. The first half was more enjoyable for me as it had her trademark relatable, quirky, life happenings depicted in humorous comics. The latter half was more Sarah giving advice to aspiring artists. Overall, another fun installment in this series, and I am grateful I was able to spend some time with Sarah and her drawings.

Thank you to Sarah Andersen, Andrews McMeel Publishing, and Netgalley, for the opportunity to review an early copy.

I already read some Sarah Andersen's comics on various internet sites and always found the very good and funny.
This book is a good way to discover new comics and a different side to MS Andersen.
Very Interesting and very funny. A good read.
Many thanks to Netgalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing

This is the third volume in the comics collection of Sarah Andersen.
I have read the first one so I knew what this book is about. I was expecting the same funny, fuzzy, relatable of ideas and I wasn't disappointed.
To be honest I don't consider this series the best of the best but I do understand why people like it so much.
This volume also include a short guide of how to deal with the Internet, harrassment, failure, creative process, etc. I think the author has an audience who will appreciate her opinion in such thoughts.

Sarah Andersen has the ability to transform the daily life of introverts into something hilarious. How she treats the anxiety, the fears, the self-doubts... we all have been there sometimes, and I haven't met anyone who hasn't recognized themselves in some of her vignettes. This is the third book of hers I've read and it's as funny and wonderful as the first one.

I've never actually picked up any of the book versions of these webcomics, but I'm sure everyone has seen them floating around being reblogged on some kind of social media site. There were quite a few panels I recognized in here as well as several I'd never seen before, and they're all just so relatable. Definitely a fun, quick read. There's also a prose bit at the end that is specifically giving advice to web-artists which isn't necessarily something that was helpful to me personally, but it also comes with some cute comic strips so it was still pretty interesting.

I nearly screamed for joy when I saw a Sarah's Scribbles collection for review. This obviously grabbed me with the title, as well as the author. Her work is perfect for anyone, but especially a book lover, as she does a lot of comics involving books.

Sarah's Scribbles are an online comic created by Sarah Andersen. Her comics are semi-autobiographical and follow her life experiences, friends, pets, etc. The comics she posts are in a funky simple art style, but you can check out her installations that are beautiful in their self here.

The first section of this book is a series of comics that involve different subjects, but mostly about the struggles of adulting. Because let's be honest - it's a struggle. A few of the subjects that she touches on are being an introvert, dealing with responsibilities, time management, reading, retail therapy, and obviously cats.

The last section is kind of like a shout out to the aspiring artists of the world, and how the internet is a dark and scary place because people are just extremely mean and horrible; but things will get better. So if you create, just put yourself out there. It's really nice to see a message like that from someone you admire.

I don't want to go too far into detail because I don't want to spoil it for anyone who hasn't seen her comics. You can check her out on the web though, she posts her comics on a few different sites, but facebook is the most universal social media and you can find her at: https://www.facebook.com/DoodleTimeSarah/

This is the 3rd book she's released, so be sure to check out the others, Adulthood Is a Myth: A Sarah's Scribbles Collection and Big Mushy Happy Lump !

If you don't pick up her book, please at least give her a follow. It's totally worth it, and it's awesome to support artists. :)

I absolutely loved this and it immediately cheered me up, as Sarah Andersen always manages to do. I discounted a star because her previous books were funnier and more unique. I will definitely be buying this book as soon as it comes out!
