href=\"http:\/\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\/blog\/index.php\/2018\/01\/30\/review-adulthood-myth-sarah-andersen\/\">Adulthood is a Myth<\/a>, so pretty much as soon as I finished reading it, I checked this one out of the library. \u00a0It&#8217;s similar to the first collection &#8211; and that is not a bad thing! &#8211; in that most of the book is one-page standalone comics. \u00a0However, there&#8217;s a few longer&#8230; articles, almost? &#8211; at the end which are text along with a series of connected comics. \u00a0My favorite is the story about how she went from being frightened and skeptical of the internet cult of cats into being a indoctrinated into their feline wonder, thanks to cat sitting for her mom. \u00a0But, to be fair, it was hard to pick a favorite as pretty much all of the comics made me laugh, just because they are so adorably relatable.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2003\"

lots about dealing with society&#8217;s conflicting messages about womanhood, general geekiness, and books. \u00a0Ms. Andersen is as insightful as always, pulling apart the stresses of modern life and presenting them in a way that had me relating to almost every comic. \u00a0A lot of them deal with authenticity &#8211; that struggle of being &#8220;natural&#8221; but also, somehow, keeping all the messy stuff hidden.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2007 aligncenter\"

superhero dance move in the fourth panel cracks me up every time.)<\/p>\n<p>Societal commentary aside, there&#8217;s also comics that are pure hilarity. \u00a0Why, yes, an angry uterus running around with a chainsaw is the perfect personification of my period.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2006\"

but at some point you just need to say &#8211; go read this book! \u00a0Honestly, I think it took longer to pick my three favorite comics to include in this post than to read the whole thing! \u00a0Highly recommended!<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"border-top-left-radius: 2px; border-top-right-radius: 2px; border-bottom-right-radius: 2px; border-bottom-left-radius: 2px; text-indent: 20px; width:
