The success and popularity of The Awkward Yeti creator Nick Seluk's "Heart and Brain: An Awkward Yeti Collection" is anything but awkward!

Heart and Brain: An Awkward Yeti Collection by Nick Seluk via Amazon

Hitting bookshelves just last week, amazing reviews are POURING in! The hysterical, relatable collection already has more than 100 5-star reviews on Amazon, with fans singing the praises of Nick's work.

True story... I pre-ordered THREE copies of this book six months before it came out. And then the day it was released, I ran to the bookstore anyway to buy a copy because I didn't want to wait for my Amazon order to arrive (the books actually arrived unexpectedly that same night, but as Awkward Yeti readers know, the heart wants what the heart wants).

Why should YOU buy this book? Ask yourself: Are you a fan of utter nonsense? Have you ever felt like your brain and heart were at odds? Do you wonder what that last question would look like personified in cartoon form? What are your thoughts on pizza? Oops, sorry, I got off topic on that last one. Where was I? Oh, yeah...

Nick Seluk is one of my favorite cartoonists. Okay, that's a lie. He's actually my favorite cartoonist at the moment (along with Doug Savage of Savage Chickens). I grew up with The Far Side as my all-time-favorite gold standard comic (and was heartbroken when Gary Larson stopped publishing). Likewise, Bill Watterson's Calvin and Hobbes was clever and funny and charming, but that too ended. The Awkward Yeti, and Heart and Brain, bring back memories of these cartoons and also bring a big smile to my face.

The strips combine the perfect balance of goofy drawings, endearing silliness, clever dialogue, balloon-toting butterflies, business tie-wearing brains, and an abundance of exuberant hopefulness.

I'm giving away a few copies as gifts, but I will definitely keep my own copy within easy reach on the bookshelf (with room for future Awkward Yeti books to come).

Indeed.

Anyone who has ever struggled with what your logical brain says you should do, versus what your fleeting heart wants to do, will love this book. In a humorous, sweet, and often heartwarming way, the two characters seem to be able to capture what goes on inside us all at one time or another. I had a lot of laughs and a few warm fuzzies while reading these comics. Worth the money since it will be fun to pick up and read it again whenever I need a lift.

I was super excited for this book and it has not only met my expectations, but also far surpassed them! This comic is so brilliant and funny on so many levels, it's hard to know where to start with a review. I think Mr. Seluk does a masterful job of depicting humorous everyday situations that most people can relate to. Heart and Brain will make you laugh and make you feel better about your life and your awkward tendencies. :)

You can't argue with that! Get your hands on a copy of "Heart and Brain: An Awkward Yeti Collection" here.
