Summary

A collection of 160 comics from the hugely popular What’s Up， Beanie？， all adorable， humorously frank， completely wholesome， and acutely relatable

Hilariously eccentric and self-aware， Alina Tysoe， the pink-haired illustrator behind the wildly popular What's Up， Beanie？， captures relatable topics like family， the awkward pains of social anxiety， sweet moments of love and a growing relationship， amusing childhood stories， and her intense love of dogs。 Adorably drawn， these endearing snapshots of Alina's life are surprisingly familiar， as if they've been taken from your own life: finding solace with a lone puppy at a crowded party， the frustration of deciding what to eat for dinner， making the mistake of hitting the snooze button， accidentally stepping on a dog's foot and feeling like a MONSTER， and tons more！

Including dozens of all-new exclusive comics in addition to fan favorites， this collection is perfect for those who need a laugh at the small agonies of life。

What's Up Beanie？By Alina TysoeOK， so I was so excited when I found this on netgallery， my sister and I have been following Alina for a while now and we both love her funny storys， they'll make you smile and relate with the author。If you haven't found her yet on social media like Instagram I highly recommend you do。 What's Up Beanie？By Alina TysoeOK， so I was so excited when I found this on netgallery， my sister and I have been following Alina for a while now and we both love her funny storys， they'll make you smile and relate with the author。If you haven't found her yet on social media like Instagram I highly recommend you do。 。。。more

Thanks to NetGalley for providing the ARC for this cute graphic novel or comic。 It was such an entertaining read ， full of sarcasm and wit。 I could relate to many chapters， Beanie is such a cute character。

Quirky and cute， don't forget to get a dog！In this adorable comic we meet Beanie as she meets her younger self。 She gets to remember her past from being an adventurous toddler all the way to her present life。 There were several moments where she was easily relatable。 I loved the innocent charm of Beanie and also how she's okay being herself even when she's doubting how others see her。 She learnt some powerful lessons and they are presented to the reader in an adorable fashion。 Even though it's a Quirky and cute， don't forget to get a dog！In this adorable comic we meet Beanie as she meets her younger self。 She gets to remember her past from being an adventurous toddler all the way to her present life。 There were several moments where she was easily relatable。 I loved the innocent charm of Beanie and also how she's okay being herself even when she's doubting how others see her。 She learnt some powerful lessons and they are presented to the reader in an adorable fashion。 Even though it's a comic you get the complete picture of Beanie's life and how she copes and evolves。 Cute and so fun！I would like to thank NetGalley， Alina Tysoe and the publisher for allowing me to read an advanced copy of "What's Up Beanie"。 I am leaving my honest， voluntary review。 。。。more

This fun read is about young Beanie who time travels to meet adult Beanie and ask how life is。 We progress through a series of comics of Beanie as a child， Beanie as a Teen， and Beanie as an adult。 The author/artist did a great job linking the various comic panels together to tell one story。 It was lots of fun， darling， and a quick happy read。

I’ve been a follower of Alina Tysoe’s comics on Instagram for two years now。 It’s great to finally have a collection of her Beanie comics in one book！ She writes about childhood， pets， and family life in a way that is so relatable。 Her comics remind me of Calvin and Hobbes， and are a refreshing source of comfort and humor during this pandemic。 I’m probably going to get a physical copy of this book for my personal library。 #WhatsUpBeanie #NetGalley

Thank you NetGalley for an ARC copyI have always enjoyed seeing Tysoe art and comics online， so this book was really nice to read。 The storyline of her growing up and life was fun to follow along。 So many different things are very relatable as well to everyday life and things we all do。 This book will be great for people who are already fans of Tysoe or someone new to her work。
