'Heart and Brain: An Awkward Yeti Collection' by Nick Seluk is a laugh out loud collection for anyone with a working heart and brain. The comics are cerebral and silly.
Poor Lars, the Awkward Yeti. He is ruled by his heart and his brain and they constantly pull him in different directions. Brain wants to save money, and heart wants to squander it on pet food (for a pet they don't own). Heart wants to chase his dreams, and brain is too pragmatic. Just when Lars wants to go to sleep, his brain is there to keep him awake with troubling thoughts like how he did on that last job interview.
It's a really hilarious collection of comics and Nick Seluk manages to find the humor that we have in balancing our brain and heart. You have to let them both take the reins sometimes, and you've got to learn when that is. You might not learn when that is with this collection, but you'll nod in agreement as you run across similar situations to the ones in your life.

This is an upbeat comic with some real depth. I’m not surprised that I liked it, because I love The Awkward Yeti website. I wizzed through the book in a single sitting, but would definitely consider buying a hard copy to page through randomly. I love how it illustrates the eternal inner struggle of needs and desires and how the division between the two can be quite blurry. But mostly, it’s a fun comic that comes highly recommended.

Heart and Brain is an excellent comic strip which captures everyday moments of life and is mostly Heart vs Brain. I could relate to a lot of comic strips in this book and they were very enjoyable. It was really fun to read.

A co-worker recommended this since I enjoyed Strange Planet. This one was mildly amusing at times, but overall it wasn't my cup of tea.
