Gemma Gene's adorable comics celebrate fur-parenthood and the extreme love you experience when you look into your dog's eyes. If you are never alone when you go to the bathroom, are forced to share your food, and find your life ruled by a sassy fur ball, Living With Mochi is the perfect book for you. When architect-turned-cartoonist Gemma Gené first met her pet pug, Mochi, she felt as if time stopped. This dramatic moment and her adoring relationship with the rambunctious pug led the architect and visual artist to begin chronicling her adventures with Mochi in a series of incredibly cute webcomics that have steadily gained a social media following of half a million loyal readers. The comics chronicle Mochi's life from puppyhood to jaded adulthood, featuring subplots of unrequited dog friendships and Mochi's jealousy of his two dog-brothers. Readers will enjoy and relate to this humorous tale of a sincerely loyal friendship between one grumpy pug and his adoring owner.

Mochi is a dog who has so much sass and fun in one little creature. Of course, this lovely being needed their own comic book! Muchi is a pug (because of course he is), and he has the best facial expressions for a dog in a comic book. I love it. He's adorable, he's cute and he vomits when he's anxious (come on guys, life is tough sometimes - my one cat still does this). 

The owner's reactions to getting a new dog were exactly how I was with getting all of my animals. It's an exciting time and it's thrilling! For years you beg and get excited and hope... and then one day you get that ball of sunshine! It's relatable and also completely adorable. Don't we all want a pet like Mochi? Who's always there being a ray of goofy sunshine? 

I love this collection, I can't lie! It's sugary sweet, positively awesome and so much fun.

Five out of five stars. I want more!

Thank you to NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for providing me a free copy of this book in exchange of an honest review.

Living With Mochi is a super cute collection of comics about Gene's pug Mochi. Mochi is a very dramatic and loved pug and it shows the relationships, adventures, and mishaps he is part of.

The artwork is clean and inviting, with a cutsie flair that will draw in young readers as well. A great addition that will add some feel-good wholesomeness to any collection.
