I adore Sarah Graley's work and the fact that her comic book is like watching me and my fiancé ( except we have 2 cats, not 4 and I can't draw as well as she does!
It is a cute, funny and uplifting series of comic strips which are relatable, funny and cute!

I'm a long time fan of Our Super Adventure, so I've been pumped to read this collection. It actually managed to include several I have never seen and many I haven't seen in a long time. I love going through these, especially since they remind me so much of my own relationship.

Definitely recommended for all fans of the webcomic!

I’m speechless. But in the wrong way. This was the worst comic I’ve ever read. The author is obsessed with fart/poop jokes. Come on, it is so cringe.
Maybe I don’t have this kind of humor, but let's be honest, I don't mind at all. The drawing style was okay, but the “jokes”... 1.5 stars because of the art style.
I want to forget it immediately. 🤢

Here are some sample of the fart section...

This is better than the first. It has more cat stuff and less fart jokes. I look forward to more comics.

This is cute and amusing. My only complaint is that there were too many fart jokes and not enough cat stuff (especially of cats outside of the bathroom). Definitely going to need a break before reading more from this author. I feel the jokes are going to become really repetitive if I read all the books at once.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This was alright. It's the kind of thing a lot of people will like, especially I think if they're in a long term relationship, then this might be more relatable. For me though I didn't relate to a lot of it (though at one point Sarah does get really excited about the idea of cute couples cosplay and starts coming up with ridiculous suggestions for couple cosplays that aren't couples and that's 100% me).
I liked the focus on cats, I'm a cat person so that's nice, but if you're not a cat person that might not be fun to read about. The art was alright, not really my kind of thing, but definitely not bad and I think it added to the comics. The comics were generally not that funny to me, I didn't laugh at any of them, and I think they're meant to be funny because some of them seem like they have a punchline at the end, so that kind of failed for me.

Overall, not really for me. If you already like Sarah Graley's stuff though I think this would definitely be worth reading, and I think the more you relate to the comics in here, the more enjoyable you'll find the whole reading experience.

I backed this on kickstarter back in 2015 and whilst the book itself is very well made... I don't think I ever realised just how much toilet humour this contains. It's disheartening as I enjoy the art style and to see it wasted on such potty humour is disappointing.

This was really cute! I've been a fan of this series on the internet for a while, so I'm not surprised that I enjoyed this bind-up. These short comics depict short snapshots of the life of Sarah, Stef, and all of their many cats. Many of their stories are heavily reminiscent of my own relationship, which is part of why I connected so well with the story. It's a pretty quick read, but I would highly recommend it to anyone that's a fan of webcomics.

I received a copy of this title from NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Oh. My. God. Y'all, my freaking RIBS hurt. I've always loved Sarah's webcomics, but this collection was the best of the best and I seriously laughed so hard through the entire book. Sarah and Stef remind me SO much of myself and my spouse, and I literally was just making my poor spouse look at so many of these comics like, "Look! It's us!" If you can't relate to the way these two act around each other, you might not find it as hilarious as I did, but I honestly think anyone will be able to find something to love here.

Thank you so much to the publisher for providing me with this ARC in exchange for an honest review!

Too many poop and fart jokes for my liking, but there were a few comics that made me chuckle because it reminded me of my partner and I. The art is super cute too. This is perfect for the Sarah Andersen crowd.

So, only 2 1/2 stars from me, but I am curious to check out her next collection being published in July of this year - I found this collection got progressively better, so hopefully that trend will continue.
