I got this on Netgalley in exchange for an honest review!
I really love Grumpy Cat and the memes, but this really just gave me Garfield vibes, just a bit more boring. The stories were a bit monotone for my liking, and maybe a bit too random.
I think a younger audience will really enjoy this, though!

A huge collection of Grumpy Cat comics, I mean really, what's not to love? This graphic novel collection is stocked full of America's favorite grumpy cat and her many (unwanted) adventures with her sibling Pokey.

The interactions between Grumpy Cat and Pokey often reminds me of the relationship between Garfield and Odie (which is not a bad thing at all). The duo goes on numerous adventures and outings and meets many new friends (much to Grumpy's dismay).

As much as Grumpy loathes Pokey, I know (and I think she does too) that her life is better with her sibling around. Fans of Grumpy Cat (and the classic Garfield comics) will find a lot to like in this huge comic collection.

Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with a copy of this book for review.
Grumpy cat had been in my general awareness but I hadn’t realised quite how big a thing he was. This collection of comic strips is huge and will definitely keep Grumpy cat fans entertained for quite some time. I have a friend who has a British Blue short haired cat who is definitely the embodiment of Grumpy Cat and I will be pointing her in this book’s direction as I’m sure she’ll find it very amusing and relatable. To be honest I think we all probably know some humans who are actually the always underwhelmed, unimpressed and unenthusiastic Grumpy Cat. So there’s probably something in here to make everyone chuckle.

An adorable collection of short story comics featuring Grumpy and 'friends'. Perfect for any fan of Grumpy!


Thank you NetGalley for an e-arc to read and review.

Until I saw this on NetGalley, I wasn’t even aware that a Grumpy Cat Comics Collection existed!

But I immediately had to request it, because… well, who doesn’t love Grumpy’s witty and sarcastic humour and take on life?

His sense of superiority (even towards humans, which seems to be a fairly common trait portrayed in stories and comics with cats…) was fun to read, because, in a way, it resonated with my own sarcastic and slightly dark sense of humour.

I enjoyed reading this collection overall, but I think 2 of my favourite stories were “Grumpy in HD” and “Cell Phone”. For some reason, even though I only have dogs, I could imagine them being this mischievous and getting into all sorts of shenanigans.

I really had fun and the artwork was also really good.

Will very likely pick up a physical copy once available and I even know a few people who might enjoy having a copy of their own!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher Diamond Book Distributors for allowing me the opportunity to read this before release date.

This was a fun compilation of several mini-comics of the Grumpy cat.
Some were shorter than others, but I think young children, especially, will be able to enjoy these pages as to not overwhelm themselves.
I didn't even know a Grumpy Cat comic collection existed until I saw this here on NetGalley.
A very easy read.
3/5 stars.

I love grumpy cat, I mean who doesn't? This is a great collection of comics that feature the internet sensation Grumpy Cat. A must read for comic lovers!

This book is chock full of sarcastic and fun comics of grumpy cat. They are unrelated to one another but have pretty much the same characters, Pokey, Dog and of course grumpy cat. These comics were fun to read.

Of course, it’s funny. Of course, it’s a reflection of a popular character — and, of course (and thankfully), it’s clearly illustrated and professionally done.

This comic collection includes all the comics about Grumpy, the cat who was a worldwide internet sensation. In every story Grumpy distinguishes herself with her behavior and way of being. But she's not alone in her adventures, Pokey is always by her side and helps her whenever needed. I think the stories were pretty funny and if you're a fan of this adorable cat you will definitely enjoy this collection!

Who doesn’t love Grumpy Cat?! I can relate to him so much. This was an entertaining book for me and the kids!! Very much enjoyed.

The illustrations and the stories in this are so good! The cats are funny and cute, but I liked Pokey more than Grumpy. I think Pokey's adorable and deserves a comic of his own. Overall, still worth a read.

I received this from netgalley for review.

This was an entertaining comic book and I enjoyed reading it! Some graphics were inconsistent and looked different but it added to the cool factor and made it each story its own. Grumpy cat did not disappoint and stayed true to grumpy cat's true self- being grumpy!

I am so not the target audience for this book but I loved it. The animation is wonderful, the stories funny and relatable and I think kids of all ages will enjoy this romp! I was literally laughing out loud at this silly cat and his companions. My favourite of all the stories was Close Encounters of the Grumpy Kind.

Thank you NetGalley for the chance to read an e-copy of this comic book! I gotta be honest here, I was expecting something really different, but I really liked it anyway.

Grumpy is very well portrayed, and the art is really nice comic-wise. The colors are outstanding, and I love that very much.

BUT I was expecting something a little vit funnier in the “here, a few panels and a laugh” kind of way. I know, I should have trusted the title. This is a series of horror, drama, sci-fi and everything in between comics starring Grumpy Cat and co, and they worked really well even if I still felt kinda let down, but that’s totally on me for wanting to read really short stories of everyday adventures of them.

Again, lovers of GC will love this. Lovers of short stories, lovers of comics, all of you, this one is perfect for you.

This collection of Grumpy Cat comics would be great for kids. This isn't one of those all ages comics where the patent would get just as much enjoyment as the child would. The jokes were basic, perfect for someone young.

So if you want something fun for a child in your life, this could be worth a look. If not, skip it,

Overall, these were cute and sometimes sweet, sometimes funny stories. Some were 'meh,' though, which I guess ironically fits Grumpy Cat's trademark attitude. The art, which varied from story to story, was hit or miss for me, though it was mostly in the same general aesthetic wheelhouse. I realize this is an omnibus-style collection, but I do think some editing would help--some of these comics were much stronger/more enjoyable than others.

A collection of comics starring the late Grumpy Cat, her brother Pokey, and the family dog. Grumpy just wants to be left alone, but Pokey insists on trying to make Grumpy happy.

What would happen if Garfield was a female cat and his stories were actual? Probably she would be called Grupy Cat and she would be almost as funny as Garfield, because if in Garfield we had a human, here we have another cat as her companion and the usual "stupid" dog.

Cosa succederebbe se Garfield fosse un femmina e le sue storie fossero ambientate nel presente? Probabilmente si chiamerebbe Grumpy Cat e sarebbe divertente quasi come Garfield, perché se in Garfield avevamo un umano, qui abbiamo un altro gatto che le fa da "spalla", il cane invece, non manca mai.

THANKS NETGALLEY FOR THE PREVIEW!
