This was so adorable! I have seen a couple of the Mochi comics online so I was super excited to see this book on Netgalley and swiped it up as fast as possible. It is just a bunch of super cute little one page day-in-the-life of the most spoiled little pug ever. If you are looking for a super quick happy little pick me up this is the one to try.

This was a delightful read that I would highly recommend. Any pet parent would easily relate and enjoy this graphic novel.

4/5

This was a super cute comic chronicle about the pug Mochi. I felt it was very relatable at times, and I can think of plenty of my dog-owner friends or dog lovers who would love to receive this cute book. The thing which made me laugh often was the fact that the pug knew he could get away with everything, since he was so loved. It just made my head shake with a smirk on my face.

The book is divided up into chapters, however I think that kinda made it a bit obvious for me how short the book was. I think that's my only downside. I know with these comic collections they tend to sometimes be a tad short, which is fine, but with the division in chapters it made it feel even shorter. However, it was not that annoying and I still loved it regardless. I think that's why it's a 4/5 and not a 5/5.

Living with Mochi, out on April 6th, is a fun comic in which author and artist Gemma Gené shows her life with beloved dog Mochi.
Every dog and pet owner will enjoy this book, seeing in Mochi and his behaviour their own pet and reliving the joys and sometimes the struggles of life with a furry friend.
As this comic shows, pets are a big responsibility and can also be a challenge, but they certainly bring a lot of love, fun and joy into our lives.

Living with Mochi, in uscita il 6 Aprile (in lingua originale), è un divertente fumetto nel quale l'autrice e artista Gemma Gené ci mostra la sua vita con l'adorato came Mochi.
Tutti coloro che hanno un cane o un animale domestico si divertiranno a leggere questo libro perché rivedranno il loro animale domestico in Mochi e nei suoi comportamenti e rivivranno le gioie e a volte le sfide che la vita con il proprio amico peloso comporta.
Come mostra questa raccolta, prendersi cura di un animale rappresenta una grande responsabilità e un impegno, ma sicuramente in cambio le nostre vite si riempiono di tanto amore, gioia e divertimento.

⭐4-/5

A cute collection of webcomics, a little repetitive (there's one dog, and we all have those kinds of dog stories) but well told and organized. A great coffee table book.

This is a super adorable and hilarious little comic book. I love books like this because they make for a quick, relatable read that makes me laugh. Anybody who has a dog or another similar pet will definitely enjoy "experiencing" Mochi's shenanigans. The artwork is cute and lends itself well to this type of story telling. I'd definitely read more about Mochi's adventures!

It was one of the cutest comic books about dogs. "Living With Mochi' shows how adorable and manic dogs can be in general. Mochi is such a chaos at times but that is shown from a humorous point of view since the owner spoils him so much. How the owner treats Mochi like a little baby is probably really relatable. It is a very quick and cute short read. If you are in need of cuteness overload, it is the perfect comic book.

What a cute graphic novel! I love the wave of books honouring cute pets that have come out, and this one was another great addition. I fell in love with Mochi's sass and cuteness. I had to laugh at his obvious great relationship with his mom.

Thank you to the publisher and to NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Gemma Gené created a collection of illustrations of illustrations that describe her life with her pug Mochi, called Living With Mochi. Having recently gotten a pup myself, this was one of the most relatable graphic novels I've read. The little illustrations are SO ADORABLE (so it should be no surprise that I immediately started following Gemma and Mochi on Instagram, because I need more of those wholesome comics in my life). I don't say this often about books I review, but I really, really, really need a physical copy that I can proudly showcase on my bookshelf.

If you're a doglover and a fan of Sarah's Scribbles, I highly recommend buying this book! It's just so incredibly wholesome!

Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. I really appreciate it!

This collection of web comics is definitely for anyone who wants to enjoy something sweet, fun and pure. I am a dog owner myself and I could relate to all of the comics and I found myself smiling throughout the whole book.

I was actually looking for something fun and quick to read and came across this collection of web comics and I can honestly say that I would read them again whenever I need a quick and fun read, which brightens your mood!

First of all, the drawings are nicely done and they just seem so pure and adorable.
The scenes were also really funny and you can easily relate to them if you are a dog lover. Yet, I actually would have preferred for the comic to be in color but this is just my personal preference.

Second, those little scenes were so relatable and funny. I loved the fact that the dog was able to talk and have a conversation with its owner and how their relationship was portrayed. There was so much humor and I really enjoyed those scenes!

Overall, I can really recommend this collection of web comics if you want a quick and fun read, are into dogs or animals in general. It was fun to read and I really enjoyed it! I will definitely read it again!

This was one of the most adorable, heart warming and accurate portrayals of what owning a pug is like that I have read thus far.

We follow this pug named Mochi as we follow various aspects of his life and how he interacts with the world and his family.

The art was adorable and really captured that pug essence that we pug owners are so fond of. It was honestly the most spot on representation of a pug that I have ever read and I loved every second of it.

If you have a pug or want one, I highly suggest giving this a read. It will just melt your heart!

5/5 ⭐️

This was so adorably cute! I'm not a pug owner and am pretty solidly in the cat camp, but as someone who loves pet in general and has owned both dogs and cats in the past, this was wonderful. It perfectly illustrates pet and owner personalities and interactions. If you're a pet owner or love animals, you will likely enjoy these mostly single page comics about Mochi the pug and his humans. This is definitely a great read if you're looking for something to put a smile on your face.

Great quick read for an instant smile on your face. Illustrations on the daily life of living with a needy, funny and super cute pug named Moshi. Eventhough I don't have a dog, just being a pet owner and a mom still made most of this so relatable. My favorite section was Struggles as I think everyone can find something in common with Moshi.

This graphic novel shows illustrations of Mochi, the cutest little thing!!! Cartoons of what he does during the day and how much his family loves him, is primarily what the book is about. There are colorful pictures and black and white ones. Each one makes you want to squeeze this cute chubby thing!!! I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to start reading graphic novels or an older child that wants to learn about cartooning.

This book is so cute & relatable! As a pug lover (and dog owner), I really loved this comic with the stories it tells of dog ownership and the adventures of having a dog. The style of the comic is very simple, but clearly conveys the story! I follow @157ofgemma on Instagram so I was already familiar with Mochi, but he is just so lovable!

Thank you Gemma Gene, Andrews McMeel Publishing, and Netgalley for providing me with an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review. #LivingWithMochi #NetGalley

Having always been a dog lover this graphic novel was perfect. I have 2 VERY clingy dogs and so many of this rang true to my life. I even had my husband read this after I did and he agreed with so much of it. So cute! I definitely want to read more about Mochi!

Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC.

Thank you for the e-arc NetGalley. Sweet, sweet little Mochi. This adorable book about one snuggly little pug was just was the doctor ordered. Mochi reminds me of one of sweet little fur babies who recently passed. He was always by my side and was a total Mamas boy. This book and its illustrations brought so many smiles and so much joy. Pick it up for yourself and prepare to squeee.

Title: Living with Mochi
Author: Gemma Gene
Genre: Comic Collection
Pages: 228
Publication Date: 4/6/2021

This charming comic collection details the life of Mochi, a black rescue pug who lives with his Mami and Papi. The book is divided into multiple chapters like Love, Food and Sleep. Each chapter begins in color to give you an overview and then moves into black and white sketches. Each comic could stand alone but together gives you a good glimpse into Living with Mochi.

I found this comic collection to be delightful. As a dog owner myself, I could relate to so many of the comics. The book also does a beautiful job giving you a real feel for Mochi’s personality. The artwork in the comic is adorable and heartwarming. I particularly loved the comics in color at the beginning of each chapter.

I wish that the color section had been extended to all the comics. It was quite a drastic shift to go from these vivid comics to black and white. Some chapters had some colors in the comics throughout but there didn’t seem to be consistency.

There were a couple of gaps in the story. For example, there other dogs such as Violet that are included in the comics but we are not given their back story or who they belong to.

Overall, I would recommend this book to dog lovers, especially pug lovers. After a rough day, this comic collection put a big smile on my face and made me want to cuddle my dog.

I received a copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review. Thank you NetGalley!

This was a quick & easy read.
It's a great "comic" about Mochi.
I'm sure most dog owners will find it very relatable.

I'd definitely purchase a copy and check out other books by the author.

This collection of comics on what it's like living with Mochi is adorable! I love dogs so much but I don't have one and this book made me want one even more. The art is great and I loved the various sections. The simplicity and relatability of these comics is what makes this book such a quick and enjoyable read. I also enjoyed that Mochi had a voice in some of these stories, which further emphasized his big personality and his owner's humor and character.
