This was surprisingly pleasant! The art style is very cute, and the comics themselves are very easy to follow along with. A quick, enjoyable read about the struggles cat owners face. Definitely a good read for cat owners, and pet enthusiasts alike!

As an owner of a very crazy cat, I was eager to pick up this one and read about the adventures of another cat. Sure, a lot of the situations are pretty normal for most cats and examples of everyday life with a cat, but with the adorable art and full personality of Frankie, it was a joy to read. Frankie's antics are hilarious and heartwarming as she takes over her human's lives.

Anyone who loves cats or lives with cats will probably identify with a number of these comics. They are entertaining, quirky and full of love.

As reviewed on Goodreads (via my pseudonym Kaizenkhaos)

Frankie, the adorable Siamese cat is a cat found by Rachel and Mike and soon after, they begin their journey together in their everyday lives.

Full of adorable comic strips, Frankie Comics is a quick paced read, full of life and colour as can be expected with a cat. The comic strips are peeks into the life of a cat owner and all the fun and games which comes with them (including bath time, playing fetch and that ominous cat alarm!)

The art style is simple but effective, conveying the expressions of the characters well and adding to the overall fun of the comics.

This was an enjoyable read and is recommended to all cat owners and/or lovers and comic strip readers.

Okay, this is freakin' adorable. Rachel Dukes' illustrations are so vibrant and light-hearted. They really bring to life the simple moments of having a pet-buddy that bring so much joy! I personally have a dog and have never had a cat as a pet, but I still thoroughly enjoyed it. It's not just for cat-owners! Although I do think this would be a perfect gift for a cat-owner who also loves comics and graphic novels.

Frankie Comics is a must read for any cat lover out there. This graphic novel does a wonderful job of putting a web comic series together to tel the sweet and often hilarious story of a cat and it’s two humans. Many of these little vignettes will have cat owners looking at their own feline companions and saying “yup! you do that too!” The artwork is very simple and cute. This book is a fun quick read for anyone who has ever loved a cat. Out August 2020.

This book was a quick read but it was so cute! I loved this book and it reminded me of how I am with my pets. Any one who has a pet should read this book I loved how it portrayed both the good and bad of owning a cat. I hope that there will be more Frankie stories and am looking forward to them.

If you've ever loved a cat you'll love Frankie. This book will make you smile and roll your eyes and giggle at your own cat's shenanigans. I also really appreciate the after matter on cat care and the importance of making sure to vaccinate and spay/neuter your pets!

I can't gush enough on how cute and colorful the comics in the book were. Told in several short stories this book about couple who take in a kitten named Frankie and all the antics the kitten gets herself into. The book definitely made me laugh. I loved the humor and how the author included information, advice, and resources at the end for anyone whose looking into adopting a cat. I definitely recommend this book for cat lovers and for anyone whose looking for a super cute read.

I don't usually read comics, but I found this really fun, and I liked the design of it. I've never had a cat, but I have friends who do, and I've been around them before so this was an amusing and accurate description of their behavior. The nicknames and bath times comics were some of my favorites. I also really appreciated that there were resources at the end for people thinking about getting a cat as a pet. Overall, this was a quick read with relatable and funny events revolving around the artist's cat.

This is such a cute little comic book. Frankie is adorable, and the author does a great job of portraying cats. I was entertained by the book, it's kind of like a modern take on Garfield, but more just slice of life than a single storyline. I would definitely recommend it for a quick read. The artwork is gorgeous, and you can't help but fall in love with Frankie. I don't really have any criticisms, it's just a great example of a little slice of life book.

This book is a super cute collection of mini-comics starring a couple who find a kitten and adopt her into their family. It's along the lines of something like Chi's Sweet Home in principle, but there's no real overarching plot, so it's more of a pure slice-of-life focusing on kitty antics. The stories are easy to follow; if you're a cat owner, most of the things in here will be relatable and/or amusing to you. Visually, the colors are nice and vibrant, and the linework and shading are clean, so it's pretty appealing.
This is apparently a collection of webcomic pages, but I went into this because of the cute cat on the cover without knowing about the webcomic beforehand and was not disappointed. I didn't find anything outrageously funny, and a few of the comics were a bit crude, but it fulfills on what its cover promises. Any person that likes cats or has a cat of their own will probably enjoy this.

Frankie Comics is your go to comics for relatable everyday life with a pet. As a fur aunt, I found every single scenario on point and it doesn't matter if you have a dog or a cat, for this book speaks for both.

This comics is about Frankie and how the furrents came across such a sweet cat and kept her until they became a family. Everyday life with a baby that keeps your stress at bay always gives you something to remember about when reminiscing about the past and I love that it was well documented in this comics.

I loved reading this book and woukd recommend it to everyone who just want a fluffy and light read that would make you 'awwwww' with adoration.

The book is a collection of short comics that depict life with a cat and the comics themselves are at least as cute as the cover, if not more.
As someone that has lived with cats before, I could relate a lot - cats can be quite fun to have around. Now the book has made me wish to another cat, or 3. I do however feel like the book was a bit short and I was left wanting more.
All in a all a small and lovely book and anyone who at least likes cats will enjoy quite a lot.

I got an advanced copy of this from the publisher to read and it is ADORABLE!!! The illustrations are super cute and easy on the eyes, and the comics faithfully depict life with a cat. Frankie is the precious little foundling that worms her way into the author's life and heart, and she will do the same to readers! I loved every frame and can't way for more!
