Reviews for Heart and Brain

[benkline · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

My two favorite characters from the series - Brain and Heart. Their polar opposites but both compliment the other in ways thats only possible due to WHO they are (well, WHAT they represent anyway). This might be my favorite yet of the three books.

Nearly each panel is both funny, and sentimental and/or intelligent and witty/wry. Not all are huge 'guffaws' or "lol", but nearly all are chuckles or a smirk inducing joke, with the added weight of the sentimentality or intelligence behind the panel due to the characters (brain and heart) involved.

The first collection of the popular “Heart and Brain” webcomic. I enjoy reading these comics when people post them online, but I feel like I’ve already seen the best ones from this collection. I was hoping to discover new content, but none of the ones I hadn’t seen before wowed me. I may still pick up other collections of this comic in the future, but I don’t feel a need to purchase them for my personal shelves.

This is hysterically true. Though stomach is totally my favorite character.

Brain: We have to give a decent review right now.
Heart: Just give the stars and let's watch a movie!
Brain: It shouldn't be hasty. The graphics and lines used should be analyzed.
Heart: I enjoyed it.

I enjoyed this book! Several times I read a comic out loud and had to show it to my husband, saying "Heart is me!" "NO, no, brain is me!" I laughed out loud several times. Highly recommend. Jokes are on par with Hyperbole and a Half!

Pre ordered on a whim the other day and clearly one of the best decisions I've made in a while. The cartoons are adorable and I can relate to so many of them. It's nice to know that other people share the same struggles.

I can’t remember when I started following The Awkward Yeti. It had to be at least a year ago or more that I saw someone share one of his Heart and Brain comics on Facebook and I was hooked. What I love about these comics is that they’re so simple – such a simple concept of a heart and a brain – but they’re brought to life so well. They’re always funny, but so many of them are philosophical as well, and really make you reevaluate what the hell you’re doing in life.Heart and Brain belong to The Awkward Yeti, who I’m assuming is the stand-in for the artist, Nick Seluk. Brain is the logical one, always trying to work hard and do the right thing – trying to save and not make rash decisions – generally living the safe and complacent life. But Heart is the polar opposite. Heart always wants to have fun and shirk responsibility and chase a good time. Heart is all about living, not just existing.As you read through the comics you imagine these internal battles happening between your own brain and heart, and depending on which way you lean, feel that you could probably be a little more of the other thing. It’s always a struggle in finding that right balance, if such a thing exists.Life, am I right?Note: I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
