more adorables from liz climo!
after discovering and loving Lobster Is the Best Medicine: A Collection of Comics About Friendship recently, i knew i needed to get my hands on more of her stuff. i'm not someone who is good at internetting, so while the rest of you have been long enjoying her work on the facebook and the tumblr, i'm late to the game here and it's ALL NEW to me!
you computer folks have probably already seen most of these (and many more) cartoons on her various sites, but this old-f ...more

Awww, it was adorable. This is a heartwarming, one sitting book, and really easy to get through.
The cartoons are so cute. Not every joke made me smile, but it's still a great comic.
I recommend to anyone, who wants some sweet minutes in your life.
My favorite part:

Let's start with sloths and koalas because they're my faves...
I also started to like snakes more after these books.
THE CUTENESS. I CAN'T.

Cute is the dominant word in most of the reviews of this book and it is the first word that came to my mind when I was reading it. But that might be too dismissive of it. Maybe it is that I have been reading a lot of bleak work lately (John Porcellino's The Hospital Suite, about his struggles with mental and physical health, R. Crumb, Harvey Pekar, …) but this book was a breath of fresh air and just delightful. I am not dismissing the importance of bleakness in literature; it serves an important

So flippin' adorable I just can't even. The art alone would be worth buying the book for, but the writing is wonderful, too.
We get lessons on friendship:
Otter, to shark: Let's go collect seashells!
Shark: Okay, but if we run into any of my friends, pretend like I was just about to eat you.
Otter: Yeah, no problem.
Glimpses of what parenthood is like:
Baby dinosaur: Want me to tell you a ghost story? So, um, there's this ghost, and his name is Steve. No, wait, it's Mr. Vampire. And he was gonna go to ...more

"mom? hey, mom- mom, mom? mom..."
Mom: "For crying out loud! WHAT?!"
"nothing. I just really like you a lot."
This collection is just so freaking cute. I just cannot handle it anymore!!!!
I am so going to get any book you bring out, Liz Clizmo! You have got my reading soul with you.
This collection focuses on friendship and family and daily life.
Damn. I love this book so much. I needed this. I knew I needed this book.
I love animals too, Liz. Forget all the responsibilities for today. Let's learn s ...more

I had seen the work of Liz Climo on tumblr - sadly with no attribution, which makes me so mad, artists deserve recognition for their works!
So I was familiar with her work, and I loved every single comic I'd seen of hers: her comics are so sweet, and cute, and funny!
This book was no exception, it was SUPER CUTE, and just absolutely delightful!
There were some comics I had seen before, but there were also quite a few surprises in there, this was one of my favourites:

I guess Liz Climo is among many other cartoonists, not many of them known well or even well received or worse created works to be deserved to be well received, changing our perspective on cartoons and comics gradually with this Instagram-ish quality in their works, being available to be shown in a square and read on a cell phone screen easily.
As far as I am concerned it is not a threat, cause our way of representation has been changing ever since the first art work, but the simplicity the style ...more

This was a cute little humorous book that I picked up on Scribd. This is a collection of funny and uplifting cartoons drawn by Liz Climo and it is the perfect pick-me-up read. I would love to own a physical copy to flick through when I need cheering up. Climo's animal characters are adorable and the only fault I can give this is that it is a little short and some of the cartoons weren't as funny as others but I still enjoyed this and would recommend it.

Coming across Loz Climo's work, thanks to the almighty internet, I found them adorable and captivating.

Simple, amusing and fun, the comics in this book are a great way to give youself a little burst of happiness/laughter.
This book was adorable in the cutest most honest ways!
Cute, funny, and uplifting.
I'd seen these comics pop up here and there, but it's a lot easier to read the collection in a book than random clicking around the internet.
They're organized by topic too (e.g. "Holidays"), so that makes it easier to find particularly fitting comics for special occasions. This gets passed around my family every Christmas:

Love, Love Love this book! I especially liked the cartoon on page 157, which references my favorite Children's book, "Charlotte's Web." I laughed out loud (at work), and totally embarrassed myself. Some of the cartoons in this book are suitable for children, but not that one.
It's going to live in my office so I can pick it up at random for a quick shot of humor. ...more

LOVE! Everyone will enjoy this book. The illustrations are anthropomorphic perfection. The writing is simple, witty, and sometimes poignant. I laughed so hard. There is not one dud in the bunch. Great as a gift, a coffee table book, or to read aloud with your kids.
Reread 12/12/2018: STILL FUNNY AF
This is another comic that I stumbled on 9Gag.
It was a very quick read and quick laugh for me!
The art for this comic is so simple but adorable and funny!
It was a fun FUN read!

This is exactly what I needed right now. I'm going to do something I've never done before: I'm going to buy a copy of this book, cut out the cartoons, and put one on my office door each day with a "Your smile for the day" (and attribution to the artist). Because I think everyone needs this right now.
Thanks Liz Climo! Count me as a new fan. ...more

These comics have cheered me up for years, but I didn’t know the artist actually had books available as well. I knew some already from Instagram and Facebook but this book is a great staple if you need a quick heart-warming cartoon fix.
Super cute little comics featuring animals. Not laugh-out-loud funny, but I was smiling the whole time.
Much fun.
I LOVE THIS BOOK😻😻😻📚💕 because it is about friendship.
Simple and funny. Cute drawings as well.
I totally LOVE every page of this book!
Too cute🤗
