I LOVE THIS COLLECTION! These comics are hilarious and humane and humble. They parody what it is to be a human in such a relatable, delightful way. And the art is the right amount of cartoon-y as well.

Eyes: Look, there's a new book by The Awkward Yeti.
Heart: Buy it. NOW!
Brain: Calm down, Heart. The book isn't released yet.
Heart: So what? Let's request an ARC. You can be really dumb sometimes, Brain!
*Receives an Advance Review Copy*
Heart: I love Andrews McMeel Publishing! They've approved all our ARC requests so far. Let's start reading now.
Gut: I'm pretty sure the title is misleading. There isn't going to be a lot about me.
Heart: Doesn't matter. Let's read.
Gut: There is going to be a lot of stuff recycled from the website, with just a few new ones.
Brain: I second that. We have some chores to do. We can read it tomorrow.
Heart: It doesn't matter if we've read most of it before. We love The Awkward Yeti. Wouldn't hurt to reread.
Brain: Fine, we know what happens when we don't let Heart indulge.
*Reads the whole book in a sitting*
Gut & Brain: Told you
Heart: Well, it was still good.
Brain: Agreed.
Heart: Alright, we should browse and read more awkward yeti comics. We are definitely getting a me plushie. Also, a tongue with pizza plushie. Maybe even the gallbladder one, it is so cute. Oh, and we should get a coffee mug where Brain and I are featured.
Brain: Let's focus on the review first. That's what we were given the book for, an honest review.
Heart: Alright. Should we give this 3 stars or 5 stars?
Brain: Well, since we already read most of it online, it felt like a 3 star, but to a new reader it would be 5 stars. We did love all the cartoon when we first read them. So, 4 stars maybe.
Heart: That's settled. Browse now. I need that coffee mug.
Brain: Hang on, let's assess our ranking of Awkward Yeti.
Heart: It's on the number one spot of webcomics for me now.
Brain: That's what you say about all books right after you read them. Have you forgotten about Sarah's Scribbles?
Heart: True, I do love Adulthood is a Myth. The uterus is so cute. How come Yeti doesn't draw any uterus, I wonder?
Brain: Because Yeti is male and doesn't have one.
Heart: Ah, that's right, I forgot. I still like the Yeti. I guess The Awkward Yeti and Sarah's Scribbles are tied up in my number one spot for webcomics.
Stomach: Hello! I've been mumbling for an hour now and no one noticed. You're all so much into that book that you've forgotten to feed me. What's more, you're having some pointless conversation instead of writing a review. You all better wrap it up soon.
Brain & Heart: Aye, Aye, Captain!

Heart and Brain: Gut Instincts: An Awkward Yeti Collection

 I Picked Up This Book Because: Looked entertaining.

 The Story:

It was entertaining. Heart is wild and a dreamer, Brain is much more practical and they obviously go through some trials trying to get along. This surprised me on the introspection inspiration these drawings lead to, I was kinda just expecting silly fun. It did go on a bit long for my tastes but maybe that’s because I digested it so fast.

 The Random Thoughts:

I already knew quite a few of the comics from the web, but they are still funny. Love, love, love them.

I love these drawings so much. It goes from funny to deeply relatable and hitting close to home in a couple pages.
