After reading Sarah Andersen's first collection last year, I couldn't wait for another book! Big Mushy Happy Lump is another excellently funny book of comics. This collection did seem to dive a bit deeper into female-specific and mental-health issues and concerns, but it still remains lighthearted and enjoyable. I appreciate and love Sarah's honest look all areas of life as a young woman. Adding some short essay pieces was a nice update with this book. However, I noticed a lot more previously published material in volume 2 (perhaps because I've started following Sarah Scribbles online since her last book release). It would have been nice to see more original, never-before-seen illustrations. Regardless, I would still keep a copy of this book on my shelf and buy copies for all of my friends.

Have you ever heard the phrase: When a funny joke is repeated, it becomes less funny? Well... it's the same for repeated comic strips.

A LOT of the scribbles in Big Mushy Happy Lump are the same ones published in Adulthood Is a Myth, which makes the whole experience much less funny.

Sure, I still related to some things. But... been there, seen that and it's not that amusing anymore.

I love Andersem's drawings and the humor in her comics. I have read Andersen's Adulthood Is a Myth and this sequel is just as fun.
