Heart and Brain: Gut Instincts - by The Awkward Yeti & Nick Seluk (Paperback)

About the Book

At head of title on cover: The Awkward Yeti presents.

Book Synopsis

Fans of Poorly Drawn Lines, Liz Climo, Randall Munroe, and The Oatmeal will love this riotous comic collection marking the return of optimistic Heart and analytical Brain with over 60 brand-new, never-before-seen comics about mental health and everyday challenges.

"Who would've guessed that a talking heart and a brain could give you lessons, laughs, and love instead of just nightmares and PTSD." --Kris Wilson, Cyanide & Happiness

Vigorously demanded and highly anticipated, Heart and Brain: Gut Instincts is the follow-up to Nick Seluk's popular New York Times bestseller Heart and Brain: An Awkward Yeti Collection.

As the lovable characters from the first book return, this collection introduces a host of other vital organs like insatiable Tongue, irritable Bowels, and abused Stomach, giving a new twist to everyday situations.

Nick Seluk's hilarious but thoughtful full-color comics perfectly illustrate the ongoing, internal struggle betwixt rational head and joy-seeking heart, making Gut Instincts relatable not just to doctors, nurses, or other fans of medical humor but to all of us trying to get in shape, deal with a cruel world, or simply get that song out of our head.
