Comic Review: Adulthood is a Myth (A “Sarah's Scribbles” Collection, #1) by Sarah Anderson


Rating (Out of 5): ~3.5
Publisher: Andrews McMeel Publishing
Release Date: 2016
Spoilers?: No.

Goodreads Synopsis:

Are you a special snowflake?
Do you enjoy networking to advance your career?
Is adulthood an exciting new challenge for which you feel fully prepared?

Ugh. Please go away.

This book is for the rest of us. These comics document the wasting of entire beautiful weekends on the internet, the unbearable agony of holding hands on the street with a gorgeous guy, dreaming all day of getting home and back into pajamas, and wondering when, exactly, this adulthood thing begins. In other words, the horrors and awkwardnesses of young modern life.

Review:

This is the first collection of Sarah Scribbles comics. I could tell it was an earlier work, as the artwork and subjects aren't quite as polished or as good. She's perfected the humor of this style at this point, I think.
Still, these are all funny. More typical scenarios, some romance-focused comics, but still an introverted girl getting along as an adult. If you enjoy these comics, I would recommend picking up the collected books.
