Welcome to Litsy!

As an LGBTQIA+ woman with queer, trans, and nonbinary family and friends, Muslim family, family at risk of pregnancy complications, and other at risk friends and family, as a person invested in education and literacy, as a person who wants marginalized communities to be safe and thrive... And so many other factors, it's been high emotions for the last few days. Mostly fear, sorrow, and anger. But also determination to keep making (...)

Fun little collection of comics showing snippets of day to day life in this animal neighborhood. Cat's cafe is the hub of a community full of friendships and mutual support, whether it be for Penguin's coffee addiction, Rabbit's anxiety, or Snake's loneliness.
Definitely a happiness booster ☺️

Pure sunshine in my eyeballs.
Great emotional intelligence, calling in characters in a supportive way, reminding them to ask for help, and even that it's okay not to be okay; wholesome self-care/life advice, dealing with depression and anxiety and self-esteem. Per the author bio: 'sensitive exploration of mental-health issues'.
Oh, and absolutely every character is completely adorable.
Going to go get the next in the series right away!

Floofies! 🥰

So cute & so much coffee!!💕

Absolutely wonderful! These comics are so sweet and so self-care oriented. They're incredibly charming and when they weren't making me feel warm and fuzzy, they had me grinning and giggling. If you've been having a hard time recently or just need a break, treat yourself to this sweet collection. #Comic #SelfCare #Cat #Coffee

As a cat and coffee lover, I was definitely drawn in just from the concept. Each character was unique and fun but also had some personal struggles that they work through. It was very encouraging to see that the characters help each other through those by being positive and supportive in subtle ways. Certainly a lot of self and peer affirmations. Also, I recommended my local library buy this book, and they did, and I was the first to read it!! 🤓

This ended up being about 2 stars for me. I‘d you like coffee you might like it better. The artwork is cute. The characters are cute. The message is cute. It‘s all a bit too cute. Overall an easy read about mental health.

Enjoy!

So glad I found Matt Tarpley's booth at C2E2 & was introduced to his wonderful art! If I hadn't, I never would have gotten a whole book full of his comics! 😻😻😻 Okay, given the things I like, I'm sure I would have stumbled across the book eventually. But I didn't have to wait! Yay! 😄😄😄
