Adulthood is a Myth, Big Mushy Happy Lump

Sarah Anderson is a comic artist that I found on Facebook and fell in love with her introverted nature displayed through her comics titled "Sarah's Scribbles". From not wanting to socialize to a love finding her love of cats to wanting to constantly steal her boyfriends hoodies to weather changes, her comics are funny and girly.

I enjoyed them immensely in both of her books Adulthood is a Myth and Big Mushy Happy Lump. 

I enjoyed them because I related to many of the moments that were portrayed. I've had glares when I occasionally steal my husband's shirts or jackets. I know what it's like to  be around too many people and needing that recharge. I don't draw well otherwise I'd probably draw comics too instead of writing a book blog.

I read other reviews on Goodreads after I had read them because I wanted to know what other people thought.

They had problems with this book because they were a compilation of her online work and there were a few that seemed as though they were the same from book to book (I don't think this is true, similar comics but not the exact same ones, at least I'm pretty sure). She writes comics. You shouldn't expect her to have long drawn out comics when all she's produced before are these "scribbles." Many people compared her book to Hyperbole and a Half which is a blog with lengthy prose and comics that coincide. These have been simply  short comics that are normally no longer than six boxes long. If you liked Hyperbole and a Half, I think you'd enjoy this one as well.

They're lighthearted and funny for those with introverted natures. Extroverts might enjoy this too, but it seemed those who reviewed them as being "poor" tended to not thing them as funny because they didn't understand those moments (someone I would judging-ly assume is an extrovert, sorry if I'm wrong about that).
