This collection is perfect for cat lovers and Linney fans alike. What if our cats could talk? Would they ask endless questions about why we haven't given them wet food...again? Would they scream greetings at the first sign of life before the sun even rises? Linney certainly will. Have you met Linney yet? If not, prepared to be blessed! Lucy Knisley's online Linney comics are collected for the very first time in this gifty hardcover featuring the internet sensation, Linney. With all-new comics, this collection shows us just how amazing, and what a true gift, all cats are.

And so ends the first five star of the year. 🥹😂😭
Hilarious and tender, Linney is given such life, a strong character with a specific voice, yet anyone who's had any remotely friendly feelings toward a particular cat will have the joy of recognizing the spectrum of feline behaviour from the fondly tolerated to the widely enjoyed. Her people provide entertainment and heart as well. Love the art style, 1/2

Robotswithpersonality 2/2 I've also read Relish by Lucy Knisley, but I will now make it a point to seek out her other work.

The cat's face! Impotent rage and loathing in this group hug. 😆

Am I reading yet another cat graphic novel? Of course I am. And it‘s just as relatable as others I‘ve read in the past. 😻

Funny and heartbreaking comics about the life and passing of Linny, a cat so persnickity and emo, she makes Miette looks phlegmatic. (https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/miette)

Knisley wrote these comics partially because she knew she would lose Linny someday and wanted to record her... thereby setting her readers up to also be heartbroken. 💔 But honestly it wouldn't be the same book without the end.

Miss Cassandra‘s personal woe: when she tilts her head back with her big sad eyes, and her mean uncaring human keeps reading her book instead of devoting all her attention to giving Miss Cassandra neck scritches.

I‘ve been seeing this book everywhere, and I I‘m glad I jumped on the Linney train. This was a quick, funny read that was real in just that way that will make both cat lovers and haters smile and laugh for totally opposite reasons.

Ruthiella How can you be so uncaring! 😹 5mo

Two things:
1. Meet Olympia — the kitten that my youngest son adopted and she‘s won all of us over ♥️
2. I love Lucy Knisley and I‘ll read anything she creates. This book is a one-sitting read for not just cat-lovers, anyone really. But cat lovers will be especially charmed.
Perfect timing that we have a new buddy just when I picked up Knisley‘s latest.
