Description
These casually drawn, perfectly on-point comics by the hugely popular young Brooklyn-based artist Sarah Andersen are for the rest of us. They document the wasting of entire beautiful weekends on the internet, the unbearable agony of holding hands on the street with a gorgeous guy, and dreaming all day of getting home and back into pajamas. In other words, the horrors and awkwardness of young modern life. Oh and they are totally not autobiographical. At all. Adulthood Is a Myth presents many fan favorites plus dozens of all-new comics exclusive to this book. Like the work of fellow Millennial authors Allie Brosh, Grace Helbig, and Gemma Correll, Sarah's frankness on personal issues like body image, self-consciousness, introversion, relationships, and the frequency of bra-washing makes her comics highly relatable and deeply hilarious.… (more)

I was surprised by how much I was able to related to this funny little book of comics. There were entries about books, being an introvert, clothes, and all kind of little things that come up in life. Some of the comics made me glad that I am not the only one that has noticed some of these things. These were comics that I found myself constantly sharing with my husband. He likes it when I try to make reading a group sport.
The artwork in this book wasn't complex but it worked well. I think that art really was perfect to illustrate this imperfect little character. I would recommend this wonderful book of comics. I think just about everyone can find something amusing in this awesome little book. I will be keeping my eye out for other Sarah Scribbles adventures.
I received an advance reader edition of this book from Andrews McMeel Publishing via NetGalley for the purpose of providing an honest review.
I've never had a book with flocking on the cover before. I love it. I hope on the next edition they extend the flocking to the cheeks, because I have never stopped enjoying Pat the Bunny.
This was a gift from my beloved husband who is, after twenty-three years of marriage, finally
Natasha and I sat side-by-side at the kitchen table, reading together. Apparently I read more slowly than she...nope, I'm sure it's just that I take longer to look at the pictures. We laughed at all the same things. Pretty much all of it feels like it could be about me, except the stuff that is obviously about a younger woman in Brooklyn. But all the introversion, and bed, and books, and critters? Yeah.
Totally loved it, not least because it's a shared amusement. Can't wait to read more.
Personal Flocked! Copy
Why does there appear to be only one of these collections? I want to go out and buy five more of them right now.
this first collection gives the impression that andersen had no pretensions to greatness in her early comics (much like beaton), and as a result a lack of direction haunts the collection
still cute and fun tho
Most of them are funny, too close to the truth, or both.
I especially liked the chortling uterus. All those, so, so true. Also the book ones made way too much sense. And
I bookmarked a bunch of different pages and I laughed quite a bit.
Being an adult is FAKE!!!!! Cute book.
