This was an okay collection, which is actually kind of a shame to say, because I generally have very much enjoyed Sarah's Scribbles comics. And I enjoyed these, but there are definitely some problems with this as a collection.
Specifically, I didn't like the fact that this re-used a fair number of strips from previous collections. It's way, way too soon to be doing something like that. People are paying for more, new content, and that's not really happening with this. That said, the new content was generally quite good and funny. Some felt like it was rehashing previous jokes in a new way, but it was still fun and charming. The message in the last section was nice-- it's good to have something encouraging people to create things-- but I felt like the comic strips were just so-so through the section, I would have liked them to be funnier to keep me entertained through what was essentially a mini-sermon on not giving up on your creative dreams. Also, it was directly pointed at visual artists, when just by rephrasing a few things could have been expanded to any sort of creative artist (writers, musicians, et cetera) very easily, which I think would have been a good thing for the book.

I relate this book to an almost disturbing agree; over and over, I looked at the comics here and thought, "That's me... that's me... that's definitely me...". I'd seen some of these online before, but others were new to me. Besides identifying with it personally, I think some of the pieces dealing with anxiety would be really helpful for my students, as would the guide to being creative in the back. Great collection.

I had to laugh at so many of the illustrations because it was as if Ms. Andersen knew me inside and out! Some reminded me of my daughters and some reminded me of a friend. This is just a fun book to look through and laugh and then share it with a friend and laugh again. Just keep showing it to friends and family and you are pretty much guaranteed to say "that is so me" or "that is so you." Put in on your self and then get it out when you need a good laugh. When you need to be reminded that you are not the only person who does something or thinks a certain way. I definitely need to get the two previous Sarah's Scribbles!

1 star.
I just didn't get it. The humorous was lost on me. While there were 3 pages I liked, the rest I didn't find funny at all. I seem to be the odd one out here with this book as it's been getting rather quite high reviews. But, everyone is different. Because I didn't like it, I don't really have anything to say about it. It wasn't bad, just not funny for me.

Sarah Andersen returns with another Sarah’s Scribbles book - and unfortunately it’s one too many. Looking for a series of trite, lazy, uninspired and unfunny observations, cascading one after another likes waves of diarrhea? Herding Cats is for you!

The book is jam-packed with way too many vacuous strips about how much Sarah: loves cats and dogs, likes Halloween, is anxious in general, hates but can’t avoid procrastinating, hates periods, and thinks the internet is a out-of-control dumpster fire. There are also strips about not being a morning person, having bad posture, not liking winter for being cold, and enjoying cutting wrapping paper with scissors(!?).

Her previous two books were amusing but Andersen’s gone back to well too many times now for it to still be entertaining. She really needs to come up with some new ideas because everything here is stale, repetitive, witless and formulaic. She tries something slightly different at the end by including a vapid and uninspiring longer-form guide for budding artists which amounts to her telling them to ignore everyone and keep trying - it’s just more obvious, unoriginal crap.

Sarah Andersen’s first couple books are fun and worth a look but all Herding Cats shows is that she can only do the same thing for so long before her schtick becomes tedious and played out. A collection of inane, worthless and boring strips about nothing.

A very funny compilation. I've seen some of these panels floating around tumblr before, but they are just as funny a second time. Some of the comics were painfully true, and I recognize myself in the murderous mess of the woman who has long, painful periods. My cat also doesn't know her name for all the nicknames and nonsense I call her. This book probably will appeal to millennials most of all, but some of the truths will make women of any age chuckle. Very cute!

Hilarious yet hits so close to home. This was the first Sarah's Scribbles I have read, even though I have seen many a post on Facebook/Twitter including some of her previous comics, and I look forward to more of her quirkiness and humor.

I really like - and relate to - Andersen's work, so I enjoyed this one. Your own enjoyment of it will very likely be proportional to how much you like cats and how frequently you experience crushing existential dread...and how much you do or do not like Andersen's work in general, of course.

I've read her stuff online, but not in a published book until now, so I can't really say how it compares with the other two volumes. Included in this one is a brief, comic-filled essay about making art in an age when people use the kinda-sorta anonymity of the internet to be huge jerks, which I ended up liking after initially being (mildly) disappointed that there were fewer comics in here than I thought there would be.

This is my first read from Sarah Anderson's graphic novels, and I enjoyed it. Although through her clearly illustrated and written thoughts, Sarah is a millennial, I believe she grasped everyday life for me where I’m not a millennial. She speaks of the internet, social media, and how we need to move past the negativity to become better artists. We can become better people. Sarah uses her illustrations and humor to capture situations in life so we can reflect and laugh at ourselves. I recommend this book and I am looking forward to reading others because sometimes I just need a good belly laugh.

Thank you Netgalley for providing me with this novel.

Adulting is hard and Sarah Andersen illustrates this in a quirky way using a girl whose forays into trying to be grown up I don’t always understand, but can definitely appreciate. Nonetheless, her illustrations are so relatable, so down-to-earth and they always catch me by surprise. Long live the scribbles!

Yet another funny and enjoyable book from Sarah's Scribbles. Loved it loved it LOVED IT!

Another delightful installment by Sarah Andersen. So much goodness here. I found myself laughing out loud many times.

I just really love this artist, all her comics are very very relatable to me. And pretty much relatable to everyone I know

Herding Cats by Sarah Anderson is a wonderful collection of relatable and hilarious comics. Each page is filled with adorable truths about life and is perfect for young people today.
I really loved this one. I've been a big fan of Sarah Anderson for a while and I absolutely love her work. This new collection is especially wonderful because of the advise and guidance that Anderson gives in the book. The wonder of Anderson's work lies in the perfectly accurate metaphors for the wonders and struggles of daily life that Anderson is known for. I can't recommend this enough.

I received a copy of this book to read from NetGalley in exchange for a fair review. Herding Cats is a collection of cartoons that make me laugh and make me wonder how did she get inside my head? I think her cartoons are important because as well as being entertaining they make you think and they also tell you that you are not the only one who feels that way. Sarah Anderson’s ability to distill big ideas into four little squares and still make you laugh about it leaves me awestruck. I highly recommend this book.

I enjoyed the other two books in this series and was thrilled to see Sarah's latest up on Netgalley. The first half was more enjoyable for me as it had her trademark relatable, quirky, life happenings depicted in humorous comics. The latter half was more Sarah giving advice to aspiring artists. Overall, another fun installment in this series, and I am grateful I was able to spend some time with Sarah and her drawings.

Thank you to Sarah Andersen, Andrews McMeel Publishing, and Netgalley, for the opportunity to review an early copy.

I already read some Sarah Andersen's comics on various internet sites and always found the very good and funny.
This book is a good way to discover new comics and a different side to MS Andersen.
Very Interesting and very funny. A good read.
Many thanks to Netgalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing

This is the third volume in the comics collection of Sarah Andersen.
I have read the first one so I knew what this book is about. I was expecting the same funny, fuzzy, relatable of ideas and I wasn't disappointed.
To be honest I don't consider this series the best of the best but I do understand why people like it so much.
This volume also include a short guide of how to deal with the Internet, harrassment, failure, creative process, etc. I think the author has an audience who will appreciate her opinion in such thoughts.

Sarah Andersen has the ability to transform the daily life of introverts into something hilarious. How she treats the anxiety, the fears, the self-doubts... we all have been there sometimes, and I haven't met anyone who hasn't recognized themselves in some of her vignettes. This is the third book of hers I've read and it's as funny and wonderful as the first one.

I've never actually picked up any of the book versions of these webcomics, but I'm sure everyone has seen them floating around being reblogged on some kind of social media site. There were quite a few panels I recognized in here as well as several I'd never seen before, and they're all just so relatable. Definitely a fun, quick read. There's also a prose bit at the end that is specifically giving advice to web-artists which isn't necessarily something that was helpful to me personally, but it also comes with some cute comic strips so it was still pretty interesting.
