I supported the kickstarter for this book, got the book and a ton of fun extras! This one is full of new comics featuring Sarah and Stef's life and their abundance of kitties. Well new, not all of them were new, but that is because I follow her Twitter. :P I loved that she did the night comics with a black border/on a black page, and the day comics on white. I had so much fun reading this one, and I was squeeing when I saw the proposal again. And of course squeeing during all the other cute moments these two have together. And laugh due to all the silliness and cats.
At the end of the book we have several redrawn comics, photographs of their journeys, and also how she makes the comics.
I can't wait for more Super Adventures and also other Sarah Graley works. <3

Re-read 2020: I was in the mood for something silly with cats and Our Super Adventure is just the perfect fit. I had tons of fun reading this one, laughing, loving the cats (how they look and what they do), love seeing Stef and Sarah together. The art style is cute but I also love that you can see how much Sarah has grown in her art style if you look at the newer books and comics. I like the little extras that were included in the book. All in all, if you are looking for a fun book to distract from everything, check out this (and other books by her) book.
----------------------
I have loved Our Super Adventure (and other stuff by Sarah Graley) for some time now, and when I saw she had a Kickstarter up for this book I just knew I had to back it up and give my support!
And now I have this book, with Kickstarter extras, and I just loved it. The book features comics you can find online on Sarah's site, but there are also several new ones that haven't been posted anywhere. The book also has a t-shirt collection (what shirts did they wear), a photograph of them and also of their cats (such adorable cats!), re-drawn comics and also what she uses to draw and how she does stuff. I also got 4 postcards and a sticker sheet (with CATS!). All in all, it is a big fun packed book, and now I can just pick up this book whenever I want, and when I am in need for a good laugh.
Because laugh you will, the comics are hilarious and Stef and Sarah are really cute together. It was really fun to see some older comics, but also some really new ones. Some I recognized from the site and I was happy to see them, but I was also delighted with the addition of new comics.
The art is really pretty, you can see (especially when looking at the re-drawn comics part) that Sarah really has gotten awesome with drawing. I love her style of drawing, and also the colours she uses. However I did notice that sometimes tattoos would switch arm (from left arm to right arm). :)
I really like how the cats are drawn, and if I look at the photographs she added (and the ones I saw online), she really got the right look for each cat. It is just great.
All in all? If you have a chance to get this book, get it. It is a fantastic and fun read about daily life, romance, relationships, lots of pizza and even more cats.

The solicit for this book compared it to [a:Kate Beaton|2921970|Kate Beaton|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1318610112p2/2921970.jpg] and [a:Sarah Andersen|14144506|Sarah Andersen|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1450904865p2/14144506.jpg]. While it may svisually reflect those two, it's lacking Beaton's wit and literary references, and Andersen's insightfulness. This is a diary comic with the same flat jokes over and over. It felt like an anti-[b:American Elf: The Collected Sketchbook Diaries, Vol. 1|165847|American Elf The Collected Sketchbook Diaries, Vol. 1|James Kochalka|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1342740027s/165847.jpg|160137].
If you like diary comics (and I do like a few), this may be right up your alley, but I found it to twee and scatological.

I have always loved Sarah Graley’s are style. It is super cute and cozy feeling. Whenever I look at her artwork it’s like drinking a cup of tea or cuddling under a cover on a warm day. Her art style also super enhances the relatability of her work. It just feels friendly.
Which is good for a collection like this. Because in this collection Sarah shares brief glances into her life. Each short comic I found super relatable and it was adorable to see her interaction with her partner Stef and their adorable cats.
In a time when the world feel so negative a comic collection like this is just what I needed. It’s a bright, happy collection that reminds you that maybe things are not as dark as they seem. I highly recommend checking this collection out!
I give this collection 5/5 stars.
That you for Netgalley for making this collection available for review

I follow Sarah on Instagram and when the book was announced I knew I had to read it. Her comics are relatable, funny, and cute but with the dash of weird someone in a long term relationship can totally understand. I've sent so many of these comics to my boyfriend saying, "Look, it's us!"
Thank you for putting all these in one place and providing this for me to review. I look forward to more!

I received an advanced copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review; I am also interviewing the creator for The Beat.
Sarah Graley's diary comics are so fun and super #relatable, so seeing them collected in one volume made for a wildly fun read. I really like Graley's other comics, as well, but my first exposure to her work was through the strips about her cats, her shared love of pizza, and her partner Stef. I was instantly hooked, and that hasn't changed a bit. If you're a fan of comics like Kate Beaton, you'll very likely love this — I highly recommend grabbing a copy!
