chargerneil: I enjoy the dialogue between fun loving heart and the constantly thinking and worrying brain. Good comedy blends the light brains the thoughtful. An enjoyable, quick break in my reading.

Erin Penn: Many a time The Awkward Yeti comic has appeared in my Facebook and meme feeds from friends, acquaintances, and suggested posts. While not one of my daily amusements, I realized I had read it enough I should send some appreciation the author's way so he could continue to write this highly entertaining webcomic.
So I bought a book with Awkward Yeti, featuring the characters "Heart and Brain" and enjoyed revisiting old FB memes and discovering new comics. The Brain waking the Awkward Yeti in the middle of the night with long-forgotten social disasters. The Heart running off in every direction trying to find its passion. The butterfly drifting through adding lively hope. And a couple times the stomach popping up with its own special demands, such as during a serious discussion about the most pressing questions of the time - world peace, does alien intelligence exists, and should we order nachos or pizza. (both please)
If you like Awkward Yeti, send some Heart the author's way by buying one of his books. Or if you find truth in the Awkward Yeti's humor, send some Brain the author's way by posting a review from his book.

Lachsfrischkäse: Seit einiger Zeit gibt es in de USA den Trend der "Emo" Comics, die nicht wirklich durch ausgefeilte Zeichnungen bestechen, sondern durch den klasse Humor, der vor allem die emotionale Befindlichkeit des Comic-Autors darstellt, und so gut wie immer aber auch die Befindlichkeit des Lesers trifft.
Heart und Brain ist ein Ableger des Akward Yeti, dieser wiederum ein Alter Ego des Autors Nick Seluk.
Ist Akward Yeti schon superlustig, sind es Heart und Brain noch mehr, es ist die klassische Konstellation des etwas dümmlichen Zweier-Duos, die ohne einander nicht können.
Heart kauft zum Beispiel gerne ein, obwohl die Kreditkarte schon platzt, und es der billige Laptop auch getan hätte, auf welchem aber nicht das Apple Logo prangt.
Dann sind alle miteinander begeisterte Kaffeetrinker, und Brain bleibt des nächtens gerne wach, um alle anderen mit seinen Selbstzweifeln in den Wahnsinn zu treiben.
Inzwischen gibt es in den USA auch diverse Fan-Artikel zu kaufen, vor allem das sehr gut gemachte Organ Attack Kartenspiel, welches leider hier in Europa nur mit viel Porto zu beziehen ist.
Fazit: für alle Fans, und die es gerne werden wollen, die Comics gibt...

Dr. Miro: Es un cómic para niños o adultos que les gusta la ciencia en general y la neuropsicología del comportamiento en especial. A través de esta obra, el autor intenta explicar muchas de las facetas de nuestro comportamiento intentando destacar la importancia y la virtud de seguir nuestra intuición (corazón) o más bien nuestra razón, lógica y conocimientos (Cerebro). El individuo en sí (muñeco azul) en multitud de ocasiones duda entre seguir su intuición o razón, es decir, corazón y cerebro que son los dos personajes siempre estarán confrontados a la hora de tomar cualquier decisión, en ambos casos el autor pone en evidencia las ventajas de uno y otro.
Opinión personal:
Es un libro muy intuitivo y una obra muy original. Es ideal para estudiantes y profesionales del ámbito científico. Pero también como dije antes para cualquier curioso o seguidor de las teorías de la evolución de nuestro comportamiento a la hora de tomar decisiones en el día a día.
Es una pena que sea muy pequeño el tamaño, unas 110 páginas aproximadamente. Por supuesto que seguiré comprando más libros si salen.

Neodoering: I was introduced to Heart and Brain when friends of mine posted it to my Facebook wall. For months I read their posts, then I decided to get the collection. I am glad I did. Some of the cartoons in the collection I have read before, but many of them or even most of them are new to me. A few of these 'toons are just so-so, but a lot of them make me bust up laughing. Heart especially has some very funny lines, and poor Brain has to do all he can to hold the household together against Heart's Dionysian ways. And all through these cartoons is Heart's butterfly friend, who on rare occasion helps Brain be on his way. I have these pegged like this: Brain=ego; Heart=id; Butterfly=super-ego. But however you see them, they are funny. My favorite cartoon is one where Brain is keeping the awkward yeti up all night. He just falls asleep when Brain slaps him upside the head, waking him up; Brain then asks, why aren't you going to sleep? This one kills me every time, and it is just one among many laughs in this book.

Heather Bennett: True story... I pre-ordered THREE copies of this book six months before it came out. And then the day it was released, I ran to the bookstore anyway to buy a copy because I didn't want to wait for my Amazon order to arrive (the books actually arrived unexpectedly that same night, but as Awkward Yeti readers know, the heart wants what the heart wants).
Why should YOU buy this book? Ask yourself: Are you a fan of utter nonsense? Have you ever felt like your brain and heart were at odds? Do you wonder what that last question would look like personified in cartoon form? What are your thoughts on pizza? Oops, sorry, I got off topic on that last one. Where was I? Oh, yeah...
Nick Seluk is one of my favorite cartoonists. Okay, that's a lie. He's actually my favorite cartoonist at the moment (along with Doug Savage of Savage Chickens). I grew up with The Far Side as my all-time-favorite gold standard comic (and was heartbroken when Gary Larson stopped publishing). Likewise, Bill Watterson's Calvin and Hobbes was clever and funny and charming, but that too ended. The Awkward Yeti, and Heart and Brain, bring back memories of these cartoons and also bring a big smile to my...
