Heart and Brain: Grocery Shopping by The Awkward Yeti

<3 it!, #reading, #theCulture?, index, , ,

It’s damn near impossible for me to pick a favorite from the Awkward Yeti series by Nick Seluk.  This piece is simply the one that started the whole thing for me.  It was love at first sight for both of these adorable characters.  Admittedly, the day I found it, I was all team heart, but as I’ve followed their adventures, I realize it all depends on the day for me.   If it is in your means, I highly recommend stopping by his store (http://theawkwardyeti.com) and supporting this amazing artist. * *I receive no portion of any sales.  Shop like you mean it all the same.  I’d love for him to continue doing what he does.  If you already have the books, check out the other swag!

I shall be telling this with a sighSomewhere ages and ages hence:Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—I took the one less traveled by,And that has made all the difference. Ifby Rudyard Kipling If you can keep your head when all about youAre losing theirs and blaming it […]
