Review: Gut Instincts
Are you familiar with The Awkward Yeti? It’s an online comic by Nick Seluk featuring a blue Yeti named Lars. Seluk has started a few spin-off comics, one of which is Heart and Brain, which follows the adventures of Lars’s internal organs with the heart and brain taking the lead. A collection of these comics has been published as THE AWKWARD YETI PRESENTS HEART AND BRAIN: GUT INSTINCTS.
I picked up GUT INSTINCTS thinking it was a kids’ book but it’s not. There’s nothing inappropriate in the comics, but the humor of the heart and brain fighting against each other is definitely geared towards adults. I thoroughly enjoyed my time reading this short book and laughed out loud fairly often as I read it. I shared a lot of the comics with Carl and we joked about several of them for days. In other words, I loved this book and now consider myself a big fan of the comic. I shared this panel with a lot of my friends:
I’ve picked this book up several times since I first read it. Everyone will find something they can relate to in GUT INSTINCTS so I think it would make a great gift. Grab this book when you need a laugh!
I won this book from Andrews McMeel Publishing. I am an Indiebound Affiliate.
Haven’t heard of the online comic. But anything that makes you laugh repeatedly has to be a good thing!
I’ve seen these comics, and they are cute! I didn’t realize there was a book.
Looks like it might be a fun Christmas present for a couple people on my list.
Sounds like a good Christmas gift!
I would have thought it was a children’s book too. It does sound interesting.
I like these 🙂
Kathy, I’m glad you enjoyed this! It would make a great gift, maybe to myself! 🙂
I’ve seen these two now and then on Facebook. They are good! I hadn’t realized there was a book. It looks like it’s worth checking out.
Awkward Yetis are completely new to me, but I just spent way too much time over there having a really good time. They are fun and funny. Thanks for introducing us.
I probably need to grab that one!
Looks terrific. I’m not familiar with this comic at all but if you think it’s funny…
