Part of Sarah's Scribbles, book 2
First published 2017
Sarah Andersen picks up where her first collection left off, finding her curled up beneath a mountain of blankets while dodging adult responsibilities. This second gathering of comic strips and illustrated personal stories captures the wild swings of self-esteem that define grown-up life. Andersen tackles the anxiety of budget planning, the misery of menstrual cramps, creative approaches to borrowing sweaters, and the pure joy of spending entire days at home eating pizza. Her comics follow the relentless roller coaster of confidence that comes with being an adult, moving between moments of panic and small victories. The book offers readers a humorous mirror for their own struggles with responsibility avoidance and the search for comfort in simple pleasures.
