Fans of Poorly Drawn Lines, Liz Climo, Randall Munroe, and The Oatmeal will love this riotous comic collection marking the return of optimistic Heart and analytical Brain with over 60 brand-new, never-before-seen comics about mental health and everyday challenges.

“Who would’ve guessed that a talking heart and a brain could give you lessons, laughs, and love instead of just nightmares and PTSD.” —Kris Wilson, Cyanide & Happiness

Vigorously demanded and highly anticipated, Heart and Brain: Gut Instincts is the follow-up to Nick Seluk’s popular New York Times bestseller Heart and Brain: An Awkward Yeti Collection.

As the lovable characters from the first book return, this collection introduces a host of other vital organs like insatiable Tongue, irritable Bowels, and abused Stomach, giving a new twist to everyday situations.

Nick Seluk’s hilarious but thoughtful full-color comics perfectly illustrate the ongoing, internal struggle betwixt rational head and joy-seeking heart, making Gut Instincts relatable not just to doctors, nurses, or other fans of medical humour but to all of us trying to get in shape, deal with a cruel world, or simply get that song out of our head.

About the Author

The Awkward Yeti was created by cartoonist Nick Seluk in late 2012, followed by the Heart and Brain spinoff in 2014.

Nick pursued his lifelong dream of being a professional cartoonist after serving nine years in the corporate world as a graphic designer. In his childhood, he drew inspiration from classics like Calvin and Hobbes, The Far Side, Garfield, and The Simpsons.

Nick lives with his wife, three young kids, and a lovable, ornery old dog in the suburbs of Detroit.

Heart and Brain, and a growing cast of organs can be found at theAwkwardYeti.com and on most social media sites.
