Herding Cats is the third collection of comic strips from artist Sarah Andersen and just as quirky and relatable as ever. This book seemed to go by even faster than the last one but it seemed like it will resonate more personally with budding artists or people following hardworking dreams. Sarah conveys her own experiences perfectly while also being humorous and has some great advice for her readers in the paragraphs based on being an artist. Being of zero talent in the art department I can't even imagine how much of a struggle it must be to put your talent into action and then have it seen and appreciated but I'm sure artists reading this book will feel a lot in common with her!

I loved the first portion of this book. Occasionally, there was a comic that didn't resonate with me, but for the mos part I laughed out loud through the book. The second portion of the book, however, was not relevant to me as I am not an aspiring artist, merely a lover of reading and humor.

Probably one of the most humorous and relatable comics out there. I enjoyed every minute of reading this! Being able to relate to the emotions and humor Sarah provides is refreshing. The artist portion in the back didn’t really impact me, but I love the message of making stuff despite what everyone says, make cool shit kids. I’ll definitely be picking up Sarah’s other books!

Cute and funny, as her other previous works. You’ll get some good chuckles. And you’ll definitely find yourself in at least one of her drawings.

Compared to the first in the series, this one also has some advices for young artists, accompanied, of course by some amusing sketches.

Recommended if you need something light and relaxing.

Herding Cats: a "Sarah Scribbles" collection by Sarah Andersen earned a 4 star review from me. It's an interesting collection of comic strips. You might like it even more if you happen to be an introvert, an artist, or a pet lover.

In Big Mushy Happy Lump Sarah discovered her love for cats. This continues into Herding Cats. There are many strips showing her interacting with a cute black cat (like on the cover).

Also, there are several strips showing her attitudes towards being an artist and an introvert. I am somewhat of an introvert and found myself nodding along with some of the strips, including one where she avoids conflict by saying yes when someone asked her for a favor when she really wanted to say no. Of course you don't have to be an introvert to have that happen, which makes it even better.

The latter part of the book is dedicated to giving advice to artists online, especially younger artists. I thought this was a valuable, interesting read. It includes advice on how to take criticism and suggestions for how to handle trolls among other things.

All in all, it's a good read. Mostly humorous, it generated lots of smiles, laughs, and some nods. It's worth a read. If you enjoyed either of her previous collections, you will like this one as well.

Herding Cats is due to be released March 27, 2018 from Andrews McMeel Publishing.

Hilarious and adorable little strips that perfectly depict event that frequently occur in our everyday life. She knows how to make me laugh and cheer me up even in the worst day ever. In the second part of the book she gives great advices to new artists or artists wannabe. GUYS, JUST MAKE STUFF!

This is my introduction to Sarah Andersen's very popular webcomic. Unfortunately, I found the strips slightly amusing or cute at best. At least half the strips, I either just didn't get or left me with a 'meh'.

I LOVE Sarah's Scribbles. From her introvert struggles and ability to find the funny moments in life, I would implore anyone who needs a smile to pick this up.

I always see Sarah's Scribbles art online and I love how relatable and funny it is, and this book was no less. Sarah Andersen manages to touch on relevant topics nowadays such as racism, anxiety, or feminism, but all maintaining a humorous tone. I feel like she has the power to make practically everyone feel understood with just a few images. Personally, my favourite part was the last one, with the advice for artists - even if I'm not an artist myself, I thought her advice was useful and she still made me laugh.

Thank you NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for giving me free copy to review.
This was such a funny and relatable read! I'm a big fan of Sarah Andersen and I have enjoyed her last two books so it's safe to say this one was as great and adorable.
I laughed at loud at some of illustrations and 90% of the time I was: OMG that's so me.
The second half about Making Stuff in the Modern Era was a pretty nice addition to this graphic novel and author really hit the nail about feeling nervous when posting your work for everyone to see and criticize.
I can't wait to see her future work! Stay great Sarah!

This is the first graphic novel I have ever read. I found it to be funny and I could relate to many of the comics as well as being a cat lover. The drawings were beautifully simple, Sarah Anderson did not disappoint. Copy received from NetGalley for my honest review.

This series has won me over ever since I learned of its existence and actively decided to read it. The first half reads like comic strips. Most hit close to home and become even more entertaining and existential life crisis inducing the more time you take to think about them.

The second half was my favorite because it melds the comics and drawings to a full dissertation/text/story (?). I loved the message the author presented in that part of the book. The internet can be a negative place and that may provoke anxiety when it comes to sharing your passion with complete strangers online. All you can do is take a chance and try to work with it. When things become too much, take a much-needed break and de-stress. Everyone has been through things that they thought they'd never get through, but you're still here so you can also get through this obstacle too.

I have loved each and every Sarah Scribble's collection made and this one was no different. I always find her content to be funny, relatable, and relevant. I know when I pick up a book by Sarah Andersen that I will come out of reading it in a better mood and with sore sides from laughing. I'd recommend these comic based on their hilarity alone.

This collection also included an essay portion about Making Stuff in our Modern Era that I found to be an interesting read and super relatable. We've all come across trolls on the internet but it was interesting to see the creator side of things as the author talked about her anxiety and exposing one's self on the internet when everyone is a critic. It made for a thoughtful read.

I received an advanced ecopy of this book from NetGalley, so thank you to them. This has no bearing on my review as my opinions are my own.

Sarah Scribbles is one of my absolute favorite web comics. I really love coming across new ones from time to time and these collections have never really disappointed. I do think this one was missing something. Maybe it's just my mood today. I'm not really sure, but as long as Sarah puts out her comics and art, I will continue to read them.

The best Sarah Scribbles collection yet-- consistent comics with bonus content for advice creating art in the modern age (which is actually just applicable to being a person on the internet, too). These comics are so relatable and shareable that you might need to buy two copies. I'm actually thinking of getting one as a gift for the budding artist I know. Besides being funny, the advice at the back is just good. Highly recommended!

Similar to other books by Sarah Andersen, this comedic take on life is relate-able in many ways. Although the title implies it's for people who love cats, it's really for anyone looking to find an outlet of life's problems through humor. Cats, dogs, and sometimes neither are the center of the issues drawn. It's a really fast read, but one a reader will likely find worth sharing with a friend. There's someone for everyone.

Perfect! Funny, witty and as always comically accurate.

This is my first Sarah Anderson book and the hilarious title caught my attention. I must admit, I haven't giggled this much while reading in some time.
Sometimes it is nice to have a quick read that doesn't involve overthinking. This is a perfect choice for that type of situation. Sarah artistically expresses what many of us are thinking or feeling in an amusing way! I found myself laughing and nodding my head "yes!" to many of the illustrated situations. I was a bit thrown off towards the end with the section on staying inspired and involved in the arts, but once I understood the purpose, I enjoyed this section, as well. Overall, this is a fun read that gives the reader a warm and fuzzy feeling.

I give this 5 stars. Sarah's comics are so me it's scary sometimes. Guaranteed to have you laughing.

If you're a fan of Sarah Andersen's previous comics, you will most definitely enjoy these too! Cute, quirky, and funny - just as I expected them to be.

But maybe the best part of this book is when Sarah honestly speaks about being an artist in this day and age. I think it'll resonate with a lot of people, and I appreciated the way Andersen's addressed it here, with just the right amount of humour and seriousness.
