What is this?

I’m Brooke, and these are weekly comics and essays about being a human.

When I’m not here, I also write books - you can find Sad Animal Facts, Sad Animal Babies, and my newest book How Do Meerkats Order Pizza at your local bookstore or library. If you’re going on a long car trip, I recommend my audiobook So Help Me Gosh. I also contribute to the New York Times, the Guardian, and work on grocery lists.

I started this newsletter because the internet was so big that I couldn’t really see the edges of it, and it seemed nice to have a smaller space to tell stories. But I’ve kept it up because I love reading your comments and hearing your strange tooth dreams, your nicknames for your dog, your great comebacks you think of later, and your book recommendations. I’m really glad you’re here.
