Ellis' cartoons are hilarious... Weird, relatable little slices of humour. As a teacher, there are definitely cartoons in here I'd use as mentor texts for students.

I was sent this book as an advanced copy by the publisher via Edelweiss and Netgalley for reviewing purposes, but all opinions are my own
I decided to pick up this ARC because I really enjoyed Adam Ellis's comics which he posted on Buzzfeed. And, as expected, this was great, there were some great and hilarious comics that were very relatable. I don't have many critiques about it, it's a great book, but not amazing, if you like Sarah Scribbles, you should definitely read this.

Super Chill: A Year of Living Anxiously by Adam Ellis is a quirky cartoon collection that perfectly captures the essence of living with an anxiety disorder. I related to so many of these cartoons. I appreciated that the main person in the cartoons was a caricature of the author himself. If these are expressions of his daily life, we'd get along great! I loved the ones breaking the fourth wall, with created and creator coming face to face. Almost a spiritual meeting with God, or the One. And his three-legged kitty! Too cute, and perfectly capturing cat logic. I ended up buying a copy for myself ::D Highly recommended!

**Random sidenote coincidence… same day I purchased my copy of Super Chill my sister was watching a YouTube video about a Twitter thread concerning a ghost story called Dear David. Imagine my surprise to recognise the name and Twitter handle!

***Many thanks to the Netgalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for providing an egalley in exchange for a fair and honest review.

I'd never heard of this guy until reading these comics but I'm definitely looking out for more of these in the future! The artwork was very nice and eye pleasing. All of his comics are super relatable and funny. I just loves everything in this book! HIGHLY reccomend for everyone. Rating: 5 stars!
FTC DISCLAIMER: I received this book in exchange for an honest review

I love Adam Ellis' comics - funny, queer, snarky, beautifully drawn, but I found this book... well... just too short. And the theme of 'a year of living anxiously' seemed barely addressed, really. I would've loved this to be twice the length and deal with the theme more. I have to say, having read most of these on Instagram, I'm not sure if I'd read future books - I would hope for more unseen comics. Maybe something longform?

Ultimately, very readable, and a quick read, but not up to the height of his powers.

I did enjoy some of this, but overall I think I just wanted more stuff about mental health and something deeper maybe. I really liked the art, the way Ellis draws people is great. I didn't know a single thing about him going into this, I only found out he previously worked for Buzzfeed when there was a comic part way through about his thoughts on quitting Buzzfeed so yeah, I really knew nothing! I wish it had been funnier but also more seriously looking at mental health, that's probably too much to ask but that's probably what's preventing me from giving it a higher rating unfortunately.

Adam Ellis first novel was funny light and an extension of his wonderfully curated short picture stories. I thoroughly enjoyed going through this book. Four stars.

Fun collection of one sheet comics; I'd say about 99% of the jokes are successful, and Mr. Ellis' style is engaging, so a definite recommend.

I don't know if I'm living in a cave or underground because as a self-proclaimed webcomic and graphic novel enthusiast, I don't know who Adam Ellis is. But thanks to this book because I was able to check out how quirky and relatable some of his comic strips are in this collection. Also, I immediately searched about him online and subscribe to his webcomic right away. This artist really deserves the break to be well-known and I'm glad that he's finally getting the chance now. I'll definitely recommend this first collection of Adam Ellis to anyone, especially those who are fond of checking out webcomics or into graphic novels.

After seeing the cover, I had to read the description to find out this did not feature Abraham Lincoln, considering the beard and all. Thought it was going to be a “Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter” kinda thing. But no, it’s not a dead president, it’s about a guy who. . . lives anxiously, in one of the most colorful comic strips I’ve ever seen.
Best moment had to be that dour deadpan fortune teller. And wow, New Favorite Song is as dark as it gets!
There’s one strip where he relates to a cartoon character; I relate to him only because when I was in Japan I ate a pikachu burger too. (It was delicious.) Also, the Selfie.
3.5 pushed up to 4/5

As a long time fan of Adam Ellis, this was such a fun read! There's so many relatable comics, and it was just a pleasure to read.

I've been following Adam Ellis on Instagram and found a lot of the strips he post are funny and entertaining, so I thought to try out his book.

Super Chill is just as entertaining as all the strips I've read online, while some stories were funny, some of them were slightly unnerving for me because of the anxiety and depression issues. I don't know if I should laugh or not. Maybe I'm reading into the strips too seriously but for someone who questions their mental health at times, it makes me second guess how I should react to something serious.

Either way, I did enjoy this book and look forward to seeing more of Adam's work.

Adam Ellis, along with Sarah Andersen (Sarah's Scribbles) and Christopher Grady (Lunarbaboon), is one of my favorite short-form web comics artists working right now. Some critics have reacted negatively to the extreme polish of his artwork, claiming it's dull and too commercial, but I've always considered it a perfect complement to the kinds of jokes Ellis likes to tell. If you like pop culture-infused jokes and "millennial" humor that is generally light hearted and silly, I would highly recommend Ellis' work.

A fun, quirky comic book that was short and really relatable. (Seriously, you should see MY crystal collection.) You can find the author on Instagram where he updates frequently with lots of entertaining content.

If you’re anxious and socially awkward, this book is for you (it might also be for you if you just like laughing at anxious, socially awkward people, but that’s not very nice). With this collection of autobiographical comics, Adam Ellis invites us into his struggles, neuroses, and obsessions. I’m an extremely introverted person whose job requires a lot of social interaction, and I found a lot of these both relatable and hilarious. A few of them seem to be just weird for the sake of being weird, but as a fan of Gary Larson those works for me too. Overall, I highly recommend this for a good laugh (and the reassurance that you’re not the only anxious person out there).

So many relatable moments. So many. Too many. I was laughing throughout the whole book. I also need to buy myself an amethyst point, apparently. Any word on if it works?

As fantastic as I hoped it would be! Adam Ellis is hilarious. His art and writing are some of my absolute favorites. They go together seamlessly. I will read this book repeatedly and cannot wait to get a finished copy! This will be highly recommended to anyone who will listen.

Comics limited to a page or two at a time show snippets from the (anxious) life if the author, Adam Ellis. The thing that makes this composure more compelling than others I have recently read is the at times weird, even sinister and dark humor that is the essence of some of the parts. It is the kind of humor that seems to be prevalent and most relatable to people my age at this point in time, which also made me deeply resonate with some of it. Enjoyable in small portions or as a whole, easy and fun as well as the aesthetically pleasing art style, I would definitely recommend this work of art.

I've been a fan of Adam Ellis' webcomic for ages and this collection was the perfect bundle of his dark humor, hilariously relatable moments and thinly veiling the truth about depression.
This collection of cartoons definitely brings a smile to your face, whether you've been a long-time fan of Adam's work, or just stumble upon it now.

I've been a fan of Adam Ellis for awhile, and his comics always bring a smile to my face. This collection did not disappoint!! I was so lucky to receive an advance copy and I will continue to cherish Adam's work! DO follow him on Facebook etc. as his all-too-relatable content is always worth a view.
