simonlorden 's review for:
Herding Cats
by Sarah Andersen
I received an early copy through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
Release date: March 27th, 2018
Actual rating: 3.5 stars
Although I haven't read either of the previous collections, I've seen many of Sarah's comics online before, including some of these ones. I love these short comics because they are often relatable for me, whether they are about anxiety, loving cats, or unfortunately, being disappointed in your childhood heroes.
Still, as some others have also pointed out, I felt that the comics often didn't have much to do with each other, and certainly not all of them were about cats. Also, the second half of the book switched from just presenting comics to having actual text, talking about online harassment, and giving advice to young artists - which are all important topics, but it was pretty unexpected and I felt like it didn't really fit in with the first half or the title. Hence why I've decided to give this book 3.5 stars.
