Thank you to NetGalley for the review copy!

This book is dark humor in some of its finest form. The perfect type of comedy to deal with the world burning down around you. This is the type of humor that finally makes you feel like you’re not alone in your very confidently formed opinions. Absolutely hilarious and almost always respectful, which we don’t see often in comedy anymore. Cute stuff for sure!

This is a funny, super fast read. It's a collection of short web comics reflecting on climate change and humans destroying the earth full of dark humor. I laughed a lot and would recommend!

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC!

This was a really fun and quick read. I can't remember the last time I snorted this much while reading a book. The humour is satirical and can, at times, be pretty dark. Nothing I ever shy away from and also generally topical when it comes to climate change jokes and other topics approached in this graphic novel. .

I also really enjoyed the art. Very "this is fine" meme energy, which fits perfectly for the type of humour. I highly recommend it for adults who enjoy a dark sense of humour. Also a huge fan of the "thank you" page at the end. Perfect way to wrap this book up!

This was such a fun little book. The comics are well-drawn and timely. The puns and concept behind the different frames were great.

"Hi, Earth" is a collection of short comics, that humorously depict different serious (and less serious) topics.

While the themes are mainly about global warming and climate change, many of them are broader than that and depict various life situations.

The way the authors use humor (sometimes darker humor) to depict serious topics is brilliant.
It makes for a quick read that is not so heavy but leaves you with some greater insights and makes you think about it long after reading it. I found it to be witty and creative.
The sense of humor matches my own, so I think this book just clicked for me.

I also enjoyed the illustration style used in the book.

I would wholeheartedly recommend this to people who enjoy short comic formats that tackle heavy topics satirically.

Thanks to the NetGalley, Jonathan Kunz, Elizabeth Pich, and Andrews McMeel Publishing for the ARC, in exchange for an honest review.

I really like the art in this but I hate the humor so much, which really is a problem in a book about comics that are supposed to be funny. Key words supposed to be. I got halfway into this and hated the humor so much I had to stop reading (which is saying a lot considering this is 100 pages of 4 panel comics). Not one single page was funny. Not one. Maybe this has an audience? But I’m apparently not one of them. Like I said stopped at the halfway point and will not be finishing.

Hi, earth is made by the duo behind War and Peas.

It's an ideal read to cope with climate anxiety and gives an insight into the emergency of dealing with climate change from the view point of mother earth, animals, mountains, planets and so on.

Some comics made me laugh out loud.

I already want to gift it to everyone I know.

Hi, Earth is a witty and thought-provoking graphic novel that blends humor with climate exploration. The pages consist of perspective on human behavior, our environmental impact, and the oddities of daily life. Kunz's sharp writing and Pich's expressive illustrations create a unique narrative that's both entertaining and reflective. The book cleverly balances dark humor with a sense of wonder, making it a thought-provoking commentary on humanity's place in the cosmos. Hi, Earth is a quirky, visually striking read that will leave readers both laughing and contemplating the future of our planet. I physically laughed out loud multiple times while reading this and will continue to re-read whenever I need a good giggle.

I really enjoyed this collection of comics. I found myself wanting them to have been sorted into chapters by theme because there are definitely distinct themes in their work overall and in this book in particular.

Hi, Earth by Jonathan Kunz and Elizabeth Pich is a satirical graphic novel based around a variety of global environmental issues. It included multiple small comics- some of which continue on throughout the novel.
It was a quick read and provided me a couple chuckles. I also thought the artwork was quite cute.
That being said I wouldn't let the cute artwork trick you, it was definitely a little raunchy at times. I had no problems with this type of humour but I wouldn't let your child read this.
I have to say, Little Timmy the praying mantis was probably my favorite.
Ultimately I rating this graphic novel a 3/5 stars.
Thank you to NetGalley and Andrews McNeel Publishing for the E-ARC in exchange for my honest review of this work.

Thanks Netgalley for a copy of this!
I really enjoyed reading this one. It tackles a bunch of issues but with a fun, light-hearted twist. Some of them made me laugh so plus points on that. I also like the art style a lot! I can recommend this to others.

I had so much fun reading this! The dark humor was absolutely perfect. Each page is a standalone climate-related (and life-related) dark humor comic. It had me literally laughing out loud with how well the sheer doom of it all was captured in just a single cartoon page! A truly hilarious and equally poignant take on climate change and what our world is going through.

Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for the advance copy of this title.

I love thesecomic strip books. Sometimes they are better than scrolling through Instagram to find these comics.
Highly recommend.
Be warned, some of these comic strips have some jokes that are not meant for kids.

Review copy provided by the publisher and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Many people will be familiar with “War and Peas” and their comics from Instagram - whether because they consciously follow them or because they have already shared a post in their story without realizing it.

The typical formal structure of the webcomics is four panels arranged in a square. Perfectly instagrammable. Few exceptions in the book fall outside this “Instagram grid”.

Thematically, Jonathan Kunz and Elizabeth Pich focus on the demise of our beautiful Earth and the ridiculousness that we humans happily contribute to it.
Recurring characters are aliens, apocalyptic icebergs, the earth itself (best dialog: “Hi, Earth. How are you?” ”Oh, I'm gonna be fine. Don't know about you guys tho."), mountains and animals that laugh at the arrogance of humans. And many more.

You might think it's cynical. But you also have to admit it: But true.

A sweet (and sarcastic) collection of comics from the War and Peas team, featuring Planet Earth. Both laugh out loud and cringe-worthy. Excellent illustrations and sharp, witty text.

Thank you to NetGalley and Andrew McMeel Publishing for the ARC in exchange for an honest review!

Hi, Earth is a hilariously thought provoking comic covering topics such as climate change, natural resources, and even aliens. I thoroughly enjoyed the short 4-paneled segments of the book and it was well paced. Even with the humorous atmosphere, Kunz and Pich show the reader the massive effects of human urbanization and commercialism on the environment. My personal favorite re-occurring joke was the praying mantis character Timmy and his journey dealing with the morbid realities of praying mantis romance. Hi, Earth's short length provides a fun read and multiple laugh out loud moments for readers.

I rate this book a 4/5 stars and would recommend it to my friends! Be aware of some adult language and themes when reading.

Want to read a short book with a lot of puns about global warming? Then this book might be right up your alley as it has a bunch of little comics that are all talking about global warming in cute little pictures and puns. The art is really well done and the way this was done is unique

Ive followed this comic online for a while. I'm so excited for the book. Thank you for the read. I enjoyed the snark of the comics.

Funny, quick read. Probably a 30:50:20 percent ratio of guffaw to ha! to meh, which is fairly standard, if not slightly above average, for a comic strip collection. I do like Pich's art style. Her Fungirl collection is fantastic. ALSO not for kids, like this book, despite this book's very-attracrive-to-kids cover.

(Please excuse my english, it's not my native language). Probably one of the funniest comics with a sharp view on modern issues such as climate change, sexuality, feminism... The drawing is simple and makes the humor even more efficient. If it is ever released in my country I'd be happy to share it!
