I’m mostly on the internet for the memes. And I spend a lot of time online reading comics. So, when a favorite webcomic author publishes a book, you can bet your bottom dollar that I’ll be on the hold list as fast as I possibly can! And lately, I’ve been delighted to see some of my favorite cartoonists’ names popping up in the library catalog. Today, I’d like to talk about one in particular: Nick Seluk. Seluk is the author of the Awkward Yeti series, as well as Heart and Brain.
Awkward Yeti
Join the adventures of Lars, a socially awkward, out-of-shape, bowtie wearing yeti as he attempts to navigate through life. The series is quirky, relatable, and full of heart. Whether he’s trying to be more popular, dealing with anxiety, skipping out on his diet, or low-key competing with his handsome, successful brother, Vince, Lars is sure to make you smile! The comics included are standalone, and the books can be read in any order!

Heart and Brain
This series follows impulsive, enthusiastic, and loveable Heart, pragmatic, serious, and thoughtful Brain, and their friends Tongue, Lungs, Stomach, etc. in a series of goofy, relatable comics about the eternal struggle of following your heart vs. listening to your head. As with Awkward Yeti, these comics can be read in any order you please, but we’ve listed them in publication order below:
Heart and Brain | Gut Instincts | Body Language | Onward to Good Things
Big Deal
And finally, we have a series of educational books from Nick Seluk that feature various science topics. Learning doesn’t have to be boring, and Seluk’s creative illustration and signature humor make it a lot of fun!
