Summary

Gemma Gene's comics celebrate fur-parenthood and the love you experience when you look into your dog’s eyes。

When architect-turned-cartoonist Gemma Gené first met her pet pug， Mochi， she felt as if time stopped。 This moment and her relationship with the pug led her to begin chronicling her adventures with Mochi in a series of webcomics that have gained a social media following of half a million loyal readers。 The comics chronicle Mochi’s life from puppyhood to adulthood， featuring Mochi's unrequited dog friendships， his jealousy of his two dog-brothers， and his love of food。

'Living With Mochi' by Gemma Gene is a collection of comics about a pet pug named Mochi。Mochi has plenty of personality， at least according to this book。 The chapters talk about different aspects of Mochi's life， like how he joined the family， how much he likes food and sleep and what he thinks of other family members。 Mochi doesn't like walks much or going to the doctor， either。These comics are pretty cute。 I really liked the art as well。I received a review copy of this ebook from Andrews McMee 'Living With Mochi' by Gemma Gene is a collection of comics about a pet pug named Mochi。Mochi has plenty of personality， at least according to this book。 The chapters talk about different aspects of Mochi's life， like how he joined the family， how much he likes food and sleep and what he thinks of other family members。 Mochi doesn't like walks much or going to the doctor， either。These comics are pretty cute。 I really liked the art as well。I received a review copy of this ebook from Andrews McMeel Publishing and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review。 Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook。 。。。more

A hilarious and wholesome graphic novel about the trials and tribulations of life with Mochi， a pug who is the apple of his Mami's eye。 Anyone who has ever had a dog， pug or not， will immediately see their own dogs in Mochi。 There were even times where Mochi reminded me of my ultra-spoiled cats。 Everyone's dog is a little bit like Mochi， even if they're too big to fit in the bed。 If you're in need of a smile， then definitely give Living With Mochi a read。 A hilarious and wholesome graphic novel about the trials and tribulations of life with Mochi， a pug who is the apple of his Mami's eye。 Anyone who has ever had a dog， pug or not， will immediately see their own dogs in Mochi。 There were even times where Mochi reminded me of my ultra-spoiled cats。 Everyone's dog is a little bit like Mochi， even if they're too big to fit in the bed。 If you're in need of a smile， then definitely give Living With Mochi a read。 。。。more

Disclaimer: I received this book for free in exchange of my honest opinion。This was extremely cute and sometimes I was laughing out loud so hard that my husband was worried。 Adorable graphic novel！

If you love Pugs or Dogs or Funny and cute dog art （mostly in grayscale） this little bit of Joy might be for you。 A fun and quick read to take your mind off the day Mochi is exactly what you need for an easy smile。 Thanks to NetGalley for allowing me to read this ARC， and the above view is my own。

So much fun！ And so much like my little chihuahua mix。 <3

Thanks to the publisher and netgalley for this arc。 I loved Mochi SO much。 I think if I lived alone I would have a dog as spoiled as him and the author is fantastic。 Now that my dog is older， we spoil him so much more than before。 But that was not always like it。 I could relate with her parents because losing a dearest dog is heartbreaking and more if you pass his illness。 But I even agree with gemma the longing to have a dog and her crazyness about him。 I totally relate to it。 I read it in a on Thanks to the publisher and netgalley for this arc。 I loved Mochi SO much。 I think if I lived alone I would have a dog as spoiled as him and the author is fantastic。 Now that my dog is older， we spoil him so much more than before。 But that was not always like it。 I could relate with her parents because losing a dearest dog is heartbreaking and more if you pass his illness。 But I even agree with gemma the longing to have a dog and her crazyness about him。 I totally relate to it。 I read it in a one sitting and laugh all the way down。 So much of the situations were the funniest because its true and she could represent it all so SO well。 Im actually very grateful and honored to be able to read this arc and get to know Mochi。 Now I’m a follower to！ Gemma: let me say to you that you are AMAZING。 Im looking forward for more from you and keep this way please！ I been blessed。 EVERYONE PLEASE READ THIS FANTABULOUS BOOK ALRIGHT？？？？ 。。。more

Gemma Gené's Living With Mochi introduces readers to her very spoilt， rolly poly pug。 Gené's wish for a dog is finally fulfilled once she gets married， and her life with Mochi begins。 Mochi is clingy， stubborn and awkward （his friendship with black Lab Ben is really cute） - Gené clearly adores him。 And eventually her husband and in-laws， too。 I have， of course， done the responsible thing and sent some screenshots to my boyfriend Monty so he knows what to expect if/when we get a dog someday。The o Gemma Gené's Living With Mochi introduces readers to her very spoilt， rolly poly pug。 Gené's wish for a dog is finally fulfilled once she gets married， and her life with Mochi begins。 Mochi is clingy， stubborn and awkward （his friendship with black Lab Ben is really cute） - Gené clearly adores him。 And eventually her husband and in-laws， too。 I have， of course， done the responsible thing and sent some screenshots to my boyfriend Monty so he knows what to expect if/when we get a dog someday。The occasional pop of colour is a welcome element in Geré's work， as most of the book is in greyscale。If you already love dogs， this is a fun quick read。 The book evolved out of Gené's daily comics about Mochi， 157ofgemma。 According to the blurb， she missed him so much she'd draw him on her commute （awww！ Also relateable）。3/5 stars - a love letter to one cheeky pug。 Perfect for dog parents and especially pug fans。 。。。more

Architect-turned-cartoonist Gemma Gené brings to life her relationship with her pug Mochi in this endearing collection of illustrations that is Living With Mochi。 Mochi is an omnivorous， adorable， scene-stealing star， and his parents know this about him and clearly love to celebrate it， except maybe when he steals half of the bed at night， along with a pillow and half the duvet。 Gené shares her stories of love and family， food and sleep， with whimsical illustrations that show the cute pug at his Architect-turned-cartoonist Gemma Gené brings to life her relationship with her pug Mochi in this endearing collection of illustrations that is Living With Mochi。 Mochi is an omnivorous， adorable， scene-stealing star， and his parents know this about him and clearly love to celebrate it， except maybe when he steals half of the bed at night， along with a pillow and half the duvet。 Gené shares her stories of love and family， food and sleep， with whimsical illustrations that show the cute pug at his best and and at his worst。 There are good days for Mochi—when he gets to eat ice cream， when he gets to snuggle with his Mami， when he gets to play with his dog friend Ben at the park。 And there are the bad days for Mochi—when it’s raining， when he has to spend time alone， when he has to go to the vet （although to be fair， it doesn’t seem like that’s a great day for the vet either）。 Even though Gené had been dreaming for years of a black pug， she took one look at Mochi and knew that he was the one。 Mochi knew it too。 And then he threw up on her。 （He vomits easily， especially when there is a change in his environment。） Living With Mochi is a realistic portrayal of life with a beloved pet。 There are boundary issues， they beg you for food （their own as well as yours）， they sit on your lap as well as your laptop， they sleep on your feet or your head or your face。 （I may know a little about this type of relationship。 He’s an orange cat with all the cuteness， but the way he rules our household is very much like how Mochi rules his。） But isn’t that what pet ownership is all about？ The love that warms your heart and heals you from the pain and indignities of life？ Living With Mochi is a celebration of the love we share with our pets and the light they bring to our lives。 This charming book is a perfect gift for pug lovers especially， but all pet lovers can relate to these stories。 And Mochi really is cute。 He will steal your heart， just like he did Gené’s。 Egalleys for Living With Mochi were provided by Andrews McMeel Publishing through NetGalley， with many thanks。 。。。more

Living With Mochi is a cute collection of vignettes from life with an adorable pug named Mochi。 The wide range of expressions Gemma Gené draws Mochi with are a delight。 Most pages feature two to three borderless panels/spot illustrations， and the narrative is easy to parse。 All of Gené's drawings have character， but I especially enjoyed the black and white watercolor style employed through most of the book。 This is the kind of book you can reread anytime for a quick pick me up。 Living With Mochi is a cute collection of vignettes from life with an adorable pug named Mochi。 The wide range of expressions Gemma Gené draws Mochi with are a delight。 Most pages feature two to three borderless panels/spot illustrations， and the narrative is easy to parse。 All of Gené's drawings have character， but I especially enjoyed the black and white watercolor style employed through most of the book。 This is the kind of book you can reread anytime for a quick pick me up。 。。。more

**ARC provided by NetGalley for honest review**Living With Mochi by Gemma Gené is a light， off-the-wall comics collection about a very human-like dog and his humans。 I liked this book， though some of the jokes seemed a little repetitive， and I will always be down for giving silly animal shenanigans a read。 As a fellow pet owner， I related to many of these humorous observations and would probably enjoy reading more about life with Mochi at some point。

（updated） I picked this up because I needed some good vibes and it certainly delivered all the fluff to soothe my tired soul。 I love Mochi’s carefree manner， and his philosophy on life， love and food。 I thought the artist did a great job portraying this wonderful creature。 I’m just happy I was able to live vicariously with my dream dog through this comic book！ I didn't really add a lot more on the blog except for a number of favorite panels。 Big thanks again to NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publi （updated） I picked this up because I needed some good vibes and it certainly delivered all the fluff to soothe my tired soul。 I love Mochi’s carefree manner， and his philosophy on life， love and food。 I thought the artist did a great job portraying this wonderful creature。 I’m just happy I was able to live vicariously with my dream dog through this comic book！ I didn't really add a lot more on the blog except for a number of favorite panels。 Big thanks again to NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for the ARC https://princessandpages。wordpress。co。。。 。。。more
