About the authors

I'm a cartoonist who lives in Seattle, Washington with two cats and two dogs. My favorite food is peanut butter and my least favorite food is an absence of peanut butter.

Matthew Inman is a Web designer and developer from Seattle, Washington. He has been designing Web sites since the age of 13 and is a seasoned programmer, systems administrator, and online marketer. Matthew launched TheOatmeal.com in 2009.

The Oatmeal is a comics and articles website created in 2009 by cartoonist Matthew Inman (born September 24, 1982), who uses the comic's name as his nickname. The website features comics drawn by Inman, quizzes, and occasional articles. Inman lives in the Fremont area of Seattle, Washington, United States, and his second published collection is How to Tell if Your Cat is Plotting to Kill You.

This book came about because I've never considered myself "happy," and neither has my family. I struggled for years trying to explain to people that I don't *feel* happy very often, and I don't strive to exist in a permanent state of happy-glowing-fun-sauce. Instead, I just focus on doing things that are meaningful to me, such as reading, drawing, running, and playing with my dogs.
The art is fun. I wish it were a tad longer but it doesn't have filler so that's nice.
If you have that person in your life who never admits they're happy, this is a wonderful gift. As always, Oatmeal is simple and hits you right in the heart. This little comic is a great, deep insight into what happiness really is, and why it's ok not to be happy in the way society proclaims the only right way to be content.
Good on The Oatmeal for breaking out of the stultifying happy/unhappy paradigm and for allowing us to follow suit as we have far more interesting things to be doing with our varied, multi-layered emotional landscape. The comics look great each getting their page in the Kindle format.
