I received this from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This is the most accurate form of media I have seen that describes what it's like being a cat parent. The art style is fun and makes it even feel more of an accurate representation of cat parent life.

This is a very accurate portrayal of what it is like living with a cute kitty cat! I also loved all the subtleties in the artwork like tummy pouch, hair on legs, and hair in the armpits. That's life!

Thank you Netgalley for an e-arc of this book in exchange for a honest review. Loved it!

Cute and relatable - especially for cat owner. Frankie gets into all kinds of feline shenanigans and her two loving owners play along. Jumping on the table, stealing hair ties, puking everywhere, chasing mice, etc. The graphics are good (although it's weird that the cat has no nose or whiskers) but each of the short comic series (they all are 2 to 4 pages long) are only so so. They aren't laugh out loud funny or ground breaking - they are just cute and okay. It's not a collection I'd read again and I would recommend getting this book from the library rather than purchasing it - it's good to read once, but I can't see anyone going back to it.

Frankie is a perfect comic for Cat lovers. This comic is so adorable. This comic covers all sweet moments of having a cat in a house. I really like the humour in the comic and Dukes also highlighted the funny behaviour of cat. I love the art work it's adorable and colorful.

This is the sweetest book! Cartoonist Rachel Dukes is the Lucy Knisley of pet parenthood, as she chronicles life with her cat, Frankie. Rachel and their spouse, Mike, find the cutest black and white kitten outside their door, and Rachel is in love. Inspired by Rachel's webcomic, Frankie is a series of vignettes in pet parenting, with comics taken from their webcomic and with some new material. Cat-lovers and pet-lovers will all recognize moments like Frankie choosing Rachel's backpack over a snuggly new bed; the conversations we have with our furry friends; the nicknames we give them, and many, many, bedtime moments (what is it about sneezing in our faces as they settle in on our chests?). Frankie is adorable and full of personality that comes shining through the page. Rachel's artwork is fun and expressive, silly and upbeat: it's just what so many of us need to read these days! Each vignette has a name that pet parents will relate to, including moments like "Language Barriers", "The Box", "Night Song", and "Cuddles". Rachel includes a section on Quick Tips for Aspiring Cat Parents. Talk up to your readers who love Chi's Sweet Home and Pusheen, and visit Rachel's Frankie website for adorable downloadables!

Uma fofura de quadrinho! Ótima para alternar entre leituras. Nada grandioso, mas o traço combinou muito e é leve de se ver e ler, me deu ainda mais vontade de adotar um gatinho um dia! Até fui ver mais da Frankie real depois! ❤
