I feel seen.
I feel understood.
I feel less alone.
Who knew 4 panels and a handful of dinosaurs would be so powerful?

Such a wise dinosaur. I love the comics they put on Instagram and I feel like you need to support artists anyway you can.
I love the humor in them and the simple honesty.

I love these simple comics of dinosaurs dealing with anxiety, depression, imposter syndrome, and crippling self-doubt. I love their bland expressions and the basic background and repetitive format. It somehow makes the jokes more poignant, letting the words stand out, with no need to pore over the picture and figure out more context or a missed punchline. All you have to do is nod your head and say, "It me."

It was so relatable I can't

I’m just very happy about being able to hold a physical copy of my favourite Instagram account in my hands. I will treasure and collect every single one of these. Can’t wait for the next one 😊

This was adorable and entirely too relatable for my own comfort levels.
The author has depression, anxiety, and ADHD (wow, me too!), and all of that is totally laid out on display in these comics in the best way. I especially loved the commentary on the fact that society is totally fucking broken and useless and yet, nobody who can fix it wants to fix it. Sigh. Good times...

November 7, 2021Gorgeous and delightful. I can't tell you the joy this has brought to three generations of my family. Myself and my daughter loved it. I lent it to my 75 year old father and he kept emailing me with new favourites.

I loved Dinosaur Philosophy and this was just as good, if not better. This witty and heartwarming collection is split into 7 parts: Growing Up, Depression, Happiness, Relationships, Stress & Overthinking & Anxiety, Work, and Success & Failure — all of which I enjoyed and could relate to. Despite the self-deprecating humour, the book also celebrates love and friendship. Indeed it is a cliche to be cynical about love...

Unlike most readers, I had never seen this comic before (because I don’t speak internet very well).
It’s brilliant!
Charming, poignant, and oh so very true.
Many, many of these strips felt lifted directly from my brain.
There are more of us than we realise.
My only complaint was the choice of subjects to divide it into chapters - it felt like it would’ve flowed better in a loose chronological narrative.
5 stars - would dinosaur again.

Fifteen minutes to read, easiest five stars of the year.
If it is not something that massively affects you, it is something that affects someone you love.
Your health is your wealth, look after it as best you can.

Cutest, most relatable comic, and fastest read. I must share this with everyone I know!

That’s my vibe

Reflections and lessons learned:
“Taller dino: ‘do you know the best way to respond to a disagreement?’
Shorter dino: ‘with tears?’
Taller dino: ‘no.’
Shorter dino: *no words, but just a single tear falling*”
Some of the shortest but most impactful life identifiers to remind everyone that they’re not alone in daft and uncomfortable moments. I devoured this as soon as it arrived - just brilliant…
Like a medicine cabinet for headaches and stomachaches, I might start a cringe cabinet for knuckle biting moments of regret, momentary heartaches and cheek blushes containing these books… when feeling foolish, find a comfy corner, read two comic strips and laugh at the ridiculousness of it all that will never change in any work of life or time

The drawings were cute growing up was funny. But I couldn’t relate to the humor in the other parts.

I just had to quote and re-post my sister's review, because everything I love about this book is already articulated!

What an adorable comic!! Who knew a dinosaur could be so relatable. The illustrations are adorable. The comics are cute and funny and make me feel seen and heard. I really enjoyed reading this!!

Perfect little read for that first day of the year hangover vibe, especially when this was a gift given the day before.
Very relatable for people who've been through depression, dark in a very light way.

5 ⭐️ such a simple, yet complex comic about dinosaurs. i felt so seen, especially the part where the world isn’t build for people like me. the depression and anxiety was so relatable as well, such a perfect illustration of what life feels like sometimes. the dinosaurs are so cute!!!
