Cartoonist and Instagram sensation Beth Evans (@bethdrawsthings) has one goal and one goal only, and that’s to make her readers feel seen, uplifted, and not so alone in the world. She successfully does that yet again with Thinking of You, her new collection of humorous and validating comics.

In her newest collection of comics, cartoonist Beth Evans is back with the internet’s favourite amorphous blob of encouragement and optimism— and just a hint of social anxiety. Thinking of You follows Evans’s iconic protagonist as they navigate their way through online dating, awkward social interactions, and the occasional panic attack, all while trying to remain kind and patient, both with the world and with themselves. It’s a struggle but they are here to remind us that we don’t have to do it all alone.

Funny, sweet, and timely, Thinking of You is just the warm hug you’ve been looking for.

Book Summary:

Thinking of You is a collection of comics by Beth Evans (@bethdrawsthings). She's a great artist with a fantastic sense of humor. More importantly, she works hard to help others see the value in themselves. You don't find that every day.

You'll likely have seen Beth Evans' works online, especially the ones about her Blobs. They're the most popular. This is a collection of many of those moments designed specifically to help others feel seen and valued.

My Review:

Thinking of You is such a sweet and funny comic! Don't believe me? Read the full title and think again. I love this sense of humor. It feels almost...gentle? Like the author is trying to uplift her readers through humor. Oh, wait, that basically is what she's doing! Love it.

Many of the moments in this comic will be super relatable, especially to anyone who needs a bit of affirmation or encouragement. Honestly, there's not a lot to say about Thinking of You – it pretty much speaks for itself! So go read it; you won't regret it.

Highlights:
Humorous
Self-Help Comic
Blobs!
