I Left the House Today! by Cassandra Calin
2.0

I received a copy of this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

These comics were really cute and funny and I think I've seen Cassandra Calin's work around before because her illustration style was very familiar. Her drawings are excellent and the physical humour in them is great. They're mostly relatable, which is where the charm lies, and as a coffee table book this makes perfect sense, it's fun to flick through and find random pages with funny comics. The only criticism I have is that in places it felt like there was something missing. As these were clearly designed from a social media aspect, it felt like there should be a caption or title along with it to give each drawing context. Most of them were fine without it because I could use social context clues to work out what was happening but some of the comics honestly didn't make any sense to me, and some felt like they were missing a punchline to make them funny.
