Our girl Gemma Correll has written a new book. As a “World Champion Worrier and Expert Insomniac,” she dispenses advice on life, love and getting through the day. Here are six of her hilarious cartoons…
Congrats, Gemma! Can’t wait to read it…
P.S. Five best graphic novels, and how to eat dinner.
The phone call one is my real-life horror story!
I am such a worrier – I will definitely be getting this book! xo
The Real LIfe Horror Movies!! Brilliant!!!!
These had me quite entertained because these comic strips make my day whenever I am feeling a little glum and need an instant pick-me-up. I love the illustrations!
I love this so much! I’m totally pre-ordering. Hopefully the humor in this book can remind me to calm down once in awhile :)
Gemma is a flippin genius! haha! Over-thinkers united! Yesterday I was having a sucky day and when I read this last night, it made me laugh! I needed it.
These are AMAZING!!! The stickers are my favorite. I agree we deserve these as adults and they also took me back to dentist visits as a kid. I can relate to most of these!
This is the truth! It’s such a relief to see this depicted with such frankness and humor. I’m glad I stumbled onto this blog. As a fellow blogger, keep up the good work and I look forward to her book :)

I’m going to get this book – I can relate! Gemma’s cartoons always make me laugh, and it’s amazing how she always gets things spot on!
I always love seeing Emma’s comics on your site! FYI – I was very excited to read there would be 6 preview comics, but only counted 4 (or 5 if you include the hilarious cover). Thanks again for sharing!
I wish I had an Ivy the IUD sticker.
I’m such a huge fan, all thanks to this blog :) I can relate to Gemma’s map of an introvert’s heart more than I’d like to admit!

This is brilliant! I love Gemma’s work and am so happy to have discovered her via A Cup of Jo. The introverts heart is one of my favoritesācan’t wait to read her new book!
The “I Was Brave At My Pap Smear” sticker had me actually laugh out loud! I love the Introverts Heart too — spot-on!
The Introvert’s Heart…YES. Spot on. I love it!
I literally chuckled to myself whilst reading the comics! I could relate to every single one of them!
I really really really want those stickers!!! Laughed out loud :)
She’s great for this.
I LOVE THIS! Does she do one-off posters of any of these? I would totally buy the stickers one and hang it in my office.
Some of her prints are on Society6.

The top one is brilliant x
Haha! That top image is SO me! Total worrier/over-thinker right here :) Always love Gemma’s illustrations.
I love these cartoons. Makes me feel like someone knows what’s going on in my head!
I absolutely LOVE these cartoons, and Like who wouldn’t want stickers for every day life activities that no one likes! Lol congratulations though! :)
These are wonderful!

Ha! These are hilariously perfect.
Love Gemma’s humor and humanity! Thanks for introducing us her to work, Joanna. Can’t wait to get the book.
HAHAHAHAHA!!! Love it!
Looks amazing! Especially that heart.
I love the adult stickers! I’m a huge proponent for simple rewards for adulting in general. Gold stars all around!
totally wish i still got stickers for doing stuff!! in fact, can’t say i won’t discretely take one off a baby and ‘re-reward it’ to myself if it’s a keeper. (i have other better qualities, lol . . . )
This book looks hilarious. I love her illustrations.
These are phenomenal. I relate to every single one! The only thing missing is the client work lunch. Whenever I have to go out to coffee or lunch with a colleague or a client, I stress about it all freaking day. What will I say? What if we have nothing in common? What if there are awkward pauses? What if I stumble over my words? It’s awful.
Me too. I don’t know why, since I’ve never had any bad experiences with work lunches. I worry nonetheless.
Real life horror movies. LMAO, that’s so me!
I love everything Gemma Correll. Can’t wait to get this book.
These are brilliant! The stickers! The toys! Hurrah for introverts everywhere…the jokes are funny, we just don’t always tell them.
Mind your own business, noisy people.
Love Gemma Correll and this looks spot-on hilarious!
haha love it! i wish i got a fun sticker for every time i cooked (ramen)! stickers make the world go round :)
Love the Map of the Introvert’s Heart. My hubs picked the Map of a Woman’s Heart from 20×200 a while back and, while pretty, it’s so patronizing and weird (“love of dress,” “love of admiration,” “land of selfishness). This option is WAY more my style.
This looks to be an absolutely fabulous summer read! I can picture myself outside by the pool laughing at excerpts already…

Written for me! I just wanted to say that I love the new look for the website!
This cracked me up! It’s so true! But wait- are you saying that not everyone thinks this way??? ;-)
I just read the quote, “Worry and you get what you worry about. Work and you get what you work for.” I love it!!
I love this! I can totally relate to this!
