This was so cute and pretty, Frankie is adorable!! It reminds me a lot of my cats, they also don't know how to play catch but love muy headbands.

This is so freaking cute. I loved the content--so relatable, with enough whimsical additions and personalized details to make it a bit unexpected and funny. The art style was a bit simple/basic cartoon-looking for my taste, but it's still quite cute and effective.

If you're looking for some feel good fun and utterly cute adorableness, then Frankie Comics is for you!

I couldn't get enough of this wonderful collection. It's so sweet, cute and lovely. It was just what I needed to get through a rough day because it's just so fun. The illustrations are also utterly adorable and make for quite the story telling method. And it's cats, and I love cats!

I have had many cats over my lifetime, both my own and friendly neighbourhood cats that kept my company, so this book was WAY TOO RELATABLE. Frankie the cat mewing it's little heart out at all hours of the night to let you know it needs attention or food or nothing at all? Yep! Accurate. Frankie sleeping on the backpack instead of the cat bed? All the time!

I adored this collection of comics. It's accurate for any cat owner and it's just fun. It'll make you giggle, laugh and just feel good. I highly recommend it!

Five out of five stars.

Sooooo cute! Perfect read for a sunny day off. I only wish there was more, seemed a bit too short.
Book also includes some tips for aspiring cat owners.

I absolutely loved reading Frankie Comics. It’s centred around a couple who stumble upon a stray cat that snuggles its way into their home and hearts.

It’s cute and colourful and such an all round wholesome read. There were so many things that made it enjoyable; its artwork, an adorable cat that could steal the heart of any cat lover, body hair positivity (um… yes!), the odd pop culture reference (I live for these!!) and a warm sense of humour mixed in with a bunch of hijinx.

Even my son came over to see what I was reading and started snorting with laughter watching Frankie the cat get up to all kinds of mischief. It’s funny actually because there were so many similarities between Frankie and my son that I’d have to argue that raising a child and caring for an animal really isn’t that different after all…

I’d recommend this gorgeous graphic novel for cat lovers and cat parents alike!

Frankie is so cute! This collection of comics is an accurate depiction of what daily life is like with a cat. The art is good, and the story is easy to follow.

This was a cute collection of comics about an adorable, mischievous cat. There are lots of cat comics out there, but this one is really good.

I would like to thank you for the eARC of this book which was kindly provided by the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This graphic novel is about an artistic couple Rachel and Mike who adopts an adorable kitty named Frankie. It explores the daily cute and funny situations of how their kitty behaves.

This graphic novel is so cute. As a person who has a cute cat member myself these, all situations were so on point. It was so funny, adorable and heartwarming. I loved the art and I love the stories.

Also, I really loved the main(human) character-Rachel. It was really awesome to see the representation of body hair. I think more people should embrace that. I loved the puns. So, an overall very cute graphic novel which made me laugh out loud. So yes, it was purrfect!

The only thing I would like to say 'PLEASE DO ADOPT AND DO NOT BUY'. I would like to see the author promoting this message instead of saying that there are options to adopt and options to buy from the cat breeders.

Cute, fun, fast, cat lovers will simply love Frankie (and probably identify in many situations)
I recommend for all ages, in addition to the drawings being super cute, I laughed a lot!
I will definitely follow the author!

This comic was an absolute delight to read!

As a new cat owner myself, the things that happen in the comic strips were ENTIRELY relatable, and I had a good laugh whilst reading it! I really enjoyed the artist's art-style, and I thought the cat puns were honestly hilarious!
The artist's relationship with her cat, Frankie, was absolutely adorable to see, and it made me want to pick up my own cats for a cuddle! (much to their dismay)
I'm looking forward to seeing more comics featuring Frankie in the future!

Would highly recommend to other cat owners as a short and fun read!

Oh my gosh, this is just the cutest graphic novel EVER! We follow Frankie the cat from the moment she entered her new home and all the antics that she gets up to with her owners and it's just so adorable! Absolutely loved it!

A very charming and cute collection of comics about the cat Frankie and her family. I thought that this was so fun and cute. I really enjoyed reading the comics and the everyday shenanigans of Frankie. The art style is fun and this was an overall fun read!

This is a perfect book for the cat lover. This comic chronicles the author's every day life with her cat, Frankie. These cute cartoons are easy for any cat owner to relate it. Each comic strip stands on it own, so it is great to either read in one sitting or pick up whenever you want. Frankie is illustrated as a very expressive animal that is easy for readers to fall in love with. This is sure to be a hit with comic lovers and cat lovers.

Frankie comics is the result of what happens when a young couple adopt a cat they find on their doorstep. Honestly, I was expecting some sort of underlying plot thread at some point, but it’s actually a compilation of many amusing scenarios that entail from owning a cat. I felt a little dissatisfied with this, but that is more of a marketing issue- for what the book was, it was pretty funny. I’m not a cat owner myself, but I imagine some parts would’ve even more impactful if I were. My favourite thing about this comic has to be the way the cat, Frankie, was drawn. The expressions definitely added to the hilarity of the stories- also, she was just so cute!

Frankie Comics is a very heartwarming comic book about a kitty cat named Frankie and her two owners' daily life routines and mishaps. It is so wholesome seeing how Frankie is such an adorable adventurer in the norms of her life. I never heard of this webcomic before but after reading this little comic, I had to search where to read the rest of Frankie's adventure. It's way too cute to pass up.

I think any cat lover/owner will love this book. Although I don't have a cat myself I found a lot of it to be very relatable based on stories I've heard from cat owners. The art was cute and full of life, and each comic strip was packed with cute, relatable, and punny jokes. It's a fast paced read and overall enjoyable.

Frankie Comics is a collection of comics based on the day to day adventures of cat life by Rachel Dukes.

I loved the illustrations and style of the comic, very cute and minimalistic. I found myself smiling and chuckling througout. I grew up with cats and now have dogs so I can relate to all stories. The only con is it's not long enough!

At the end of the book there is some information for prospective cat owners which contains a lot of useful information.

I definitely recommend this book for all pet lovers!

Thanks to NetGalley and Oni Press for providing me with an ARC of this title in exchange for an honest review.*

Even though I'm a dog owner, I could completely relate to this.
Clearly the patterns of behaviour are very similar and I smiled and laughed while reading this.

Made me appreciate my dogs even more, and the unconditional love they give me every day.

A short but fun and adorable read.

Thank you to NetGalley for the eARC.
