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.

Oh! I love Heart and Brain!!!
I met this strip a few time ago, thanks to this image:
Yeah, i know that my heart and my brain didn’t fight because both of them like reading, but i honestly get excited by this strip that look so funny and it was as great as it looks
In this book we can see so many strips about very different themes, but mostly about food, the tongue and the stomach are part of the main characters here. I must be honest i try to eat healty and, some times, i fail miserably, also happe ...more

With a title saying 'Gut Instincts' and a cover full of guts you would expect MANY jokes and cartoons about/with guts.
Well, I truth it's more about Heart and Brain than the new group of characters. Heart and Brain continue with their daily battles and, if you are lucky, you meet Tongue, Stomach, Sweet Tooth, Guts, Gallbladder, Kidney, Bladder, Liver, Lungs... alongside. I would have liked to see more of them all, I feel they weren't sufficiently exploited. I hoped for more of 'guts' and less of ...more

Oh, how I love this web comic! And the collection includes even more great stuff. Heart and Brain are kind of like the Pinky and the Brain of the body: Heart is the playful, silly one and Brain is the rational worrier. Together, they star in funny, yet poignant, comics about every day life. It’s a great escape, especially if something big and worrisome has been stressing you out. (Like, say, 2016?)

Oh goodness. A serendipitous find in the library, these three books... never would have seen them if I relied entirely on the hold system.
Brain on the computer, Heart hanging out preventing Brain from getting anything done.
H: Is the world getting worse?
B: Worse? (closes computer) I don't know. It has never been all that great. But one thing is consistent.
H: What?

A completely accurate -at times preachy-description of the human body. I loved all the single panel comics but ended up wishing for more screen time for gallbladder...
I'm in awe of Nick Seluk's ability to personify internal organs. He's able to set up situations that everyone can relate to, but from a perspective that's radically unfamiliar. Waking up in the wee hours of the morning to go to the bathroom takes on a whole new life when you see Bladder insistently poking Lars, the titular Yeti, and prying his eyelids open. Seluk's inventiveness seemingly knows no bounds. This book is, if anything, even more enjoyable than the previous Heart and Brain collection

As always, I think I enjoyed the single-panel comics best, but this is still a delightful conceit and comic series.
If you have seen Heart and Brain online, then you know what you are getting from this second collection of the online cartoon.
Here are some examples of what you will find inside:
Like any collection, if you know and love the comics, then you must have it. If you don't know them, you might want to read them online first, and the decide. This was a fine collection with a few laughs. Not my favorite online comic, but it might be someones.

I knew from this comic because I had seen some strips of it on facebook, so I gave it a go. I have to say that it has very funny little stories, but it also has some boring ones. I guess that the fact of reading so much about more or less the same thing (the dichotomy between heart and brain) can get boring after a while. In this regard, I find it great that the author also gets other organs to appear, like the tongue, estomac, eyes, lungs... and when they appear they provide a funny twist on th

'Heart and Brain: Gut Instincts' by Nick Seluk is an Awkward Yeti collection. I love this comic strip for its humor and wise insight into how we humans work.
The comic strip is primarily Heart and Brain, but this time around they are joined by other members of the human body. We have tongue wanting to eat anything, while stomach complains about being full. Throughout, irritable bowels shows up to voice its complaint. Mainly, Heart wants what it wants now, and Brain wants to be productive and prag ...more

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.

What I realized after reading my second Heart and Brain book is that I enjoy specific comics but I don’t love reading the entire books in one shot as a whole. Each comic is witty and amusing but only on an individual basis. As a whole they begin to blend together and become kind of meh. I definitely enjoyed the fact that the other organs made appearances in this book. It created some variety within the boom. Plus they added some additional humor with each of their specific quirks.
I did not enjoy this one as much as some of the others. While they are still funny, the rest of the characters are just not my favorite.
This comic remains clean and cute in a world of nasty comics though, which is awesome!

I love Heart and Brain (and Tongue).
This book is laugh out loud funny. I lost it during the yogurt comic.
I love these drawings so much. It goes from funny to deeply relatable and hitting close to home in a couple pages.
This one was just as cute and funny as the first one! I can't wait to read more!!

Brain wanted to read something else but heart insisted....
The awkward yeti never disappoints :)

What better way to make relatable content than to use organs as your main characters? We all have ‘em. And even though we don’t talk much about them, everyone who reads this will find something that makes them say, “Yep, been there.” Like being woken up at 4AM by Bladder, then being kept awake until the alarm goes off by Brain. This could even be a fun and quirky way to review basic anatomy and physiology.

Heart and Brain: Gut Instincts by Nick Seluk is a cartoon book of organ characters depicting thoughts and feelings, in humorous ways, of life and love. It is very clever and silly and often true. The art is adorable and fun. Most of the cartoons are very relatable to life and many I could smile or giggle at, some weren't so much. Overall it was a good book. I received this book from NetGalley for a honest review.

This is amazing.
It is funny, smart and sometimes thought provoking.
I will read from time to time. I think the comic is excellent to read if you are having a bad day. I laughed out loud several times.
So, the book has alot of heart and brain......
Huehuehuehueh.
I will show myself out. :)

I love everything about the awkward yeti
I couldn’t stop Reading it, or laughing in a very loud way, it was completely hilarious, better than the first one now that we have more organs interacting.
Such an adorable and cute comic!! I was smiling the entire time 💕
