The book version of the ultra-popular blog. Does not include full blog content, but does include some stories not on the blog. Is also physically harder to read than the blog, but still funny and sad as all get-out, and I really appreciated her drawing ability more upon this reading. I think the art is supposed to look "so bad it's funny," but it's really comedically quite good. From her Fresh Air interview: 
 "Really, a lot of time goes into this crudeness. There's a huge difference between drawing the pupil a slightly different size -- ... a millimeter to either side can make such a gigantic difference in a facial expression, or shaving a tiny bit off the corner of the line of the mouth. So there's really a lot of work that goes into "perfecting" this crudeness." 
 My favorites in this book (and I'm not even a dog person!) were the dog ones. The dog that just thinks in shapes -- OMG!
