Big Mushy Happy Lump: A Sarah's Scribbles Collection (Volume 2)

Really funny comics by Sarah Anderson!

I just love Sarah's Scribbles in any form or shape... Always funny in an adorable and cute way! And I see so much of myself in her strips that I just can't avoid a knowing smile every time!

So very cute and funny. Utterly relatable too. A fun, easy, quick read. This is book 2 in the series.

Amusing cartoons which are relatable to men and women alike. Worth buying for a quick read and coming back to every few months, or if you read Sarah's Scribbles online.

Perfect. Love Sarah's comics and this wee book and just lovely. I bought it for my partner but really I bought it for me. The felt on the cover is a great touch too!

This book is AMAZING. I identify so much with it 😍 there are even certain moments of my life when I go, OMG Sarah Andersen and I could totally work together and she could draw this terrible embarrassing moment that I went through today 😂 you're awesome Sarah Andersen.

I defy anyone to not find at least 1 of Sarah's comics that they can relate to. I feel like nearly all of them were written personally for me! Especially the 'How I spend money' comic...

Love this book, it keeps me and my friends entertained whenever we pick it up. The comics in it are just soooo relatable!

Grandes tiras comicas con las que sentirse identificado y reirse de las cosas que nos pasan a diario. La calidad es buena y el afelpadito de la portada es un detalle genial.

Genial ♡

Ce qui raconte est vrai et drôle. Nous pouvons apprendre quelques choses en rigolant. C'est un plaisir de le lire.

I bought it as a gift for a friend. It came in perfectly good condition, and the drawing had a soft, fur-like/velvet-like texture. Can't tell much more since it was a gift but my friend was happy with it, as we both love Sarah's Scribbles. Je l'ai acheté pour l'offrir en cadeau à une amie. Le livre était en parfait état quand je l'ai reçu, et le dessin est doux au toucher, un peu comme du velours. Je ne peux pas vraiment en dire plus comme c'était un cadeau, mais mon amie l'a apprécié et nous aimons toutes les deux Sarah's Scribbles.

So the thing about Sarah Anderson and her Scribbles is that she feels small and insecure and flawed, and she takes all that and puts it into an adorable comic, and those of us who can’t express ourselves as well as she can all look at those comics and see ourselves. Big Mushy Happy Lump is filled with these moments, of honesty and clarity and irony and self-consciousness. These comics take on a lot of different topics, like a self-esteem roller coaster, the importance of female friends, procrastination, stuffing your feelings, cats, flirting, periods, sexual harassment, nightmares of high school, and social anxiety. The comics are spirited, showing her willingness to make herself the butt of a joke and her skill at self-expression. And she’s just funny. In this book, she talks about her struggles in social situations and how sometimes she finds being around others exhausting. Introverts can certainly relate to that, and to understand the opposite of that, when we pull away so far we let ourselves get isolated. The struggle is real, and Anderson opens up about trying to find that balance between the anxiety of being around too many people and the depression of being alone too much. She also talks about bonding with a kitten and learning why the internet loves cats the ways it does and how she is a serial sweater stealer. I love to reach for a Sarah’s Scribbles book when I need a pick-me-up, when I want some company to be alone, when I want someone to be weird with, and when I want to smile. Big Mushy Happy Lump is a sweet reminder to be kinder to myself, to take risks, and to be strange whenever possible.
