HERDING CATS is a collection of the “Sarah’s Scribbles”
comics. The comic strip was initially found on the Internet. HERDING CATS has
two distinct sections. The first is a collection of the “Sarah’s Scribbles”
comics. While often humorous and quite relatable, the comics in this collection
don’t appear to have any overall connecting theme or plot. They are a series of
slice-of-life comics that many people can relate. The second section of the
book is more of an inspirational message to anyone who is a creative person.
The essay, “Making Stuff in the Modern Era: A Guide for the Young Creative,” is
told in both text and comics. It’s an uplifting message warning of the dangers
of the Internet and social media. Overall, I enjoyed HERDING CATS, however,
while I found the comics in the first section to be humorous and quite
relatable, it was the graphic novel essay in the last part of the book that
really makes the book stand out overall.
