New York Times bestselling author Nick Seluk returns with a charming, hilarious, and inspirational book of comics in which his popular Heart and Brain characters fight through the world's gloom and uncertainty and march toward a brighter, more hopeful future.
This book of inspirational and hilarious comics directly addresses the mental health challenges we’ve been through collectively as a species, with specific illustrations and new content that help people feel understood, seen, and encouraged.
Delivered with a humorous but sensitive touch, Onward to Good Things contains short graphic novel elements in three sections to tie together the themes and comics in one continuing short story that will help propel the author's millions of fans—and brand-new readers—toward a brighter and more laugh-filled future.
”We're so fortunate to have more Heart and Brain stories to laugh with and learn from. I've been in love with these characters and Nick's unique yet SO relatable worldview since the first panel I ever read years ago, and I'm just as smitten now as I was then. Onward to Good Things is a very fitting title for the latest entry into the weird and incomparably wonderful world of Heart and Brain.”
-Emily Hampshire (Schitt’s Creek, 12 Monkeys)
”Hilarious, insightful, and moving, this collection will remind readers why “Heart and Brain” is simply incomparable.” -Sarah Andersen (Sarah’s Scribbles)
Meet the Author
Nick followed his ultimate life goal of becoming a cartoonist on a professional level after serving nine years as a graphic designer in the corporate world. Growing up, he got his inspiration from classics like The Far Side, Calvin and Hobbes, The Simpsons, and Garfield.
Heart and Brain, and an increasing crew of organs can be found at theAwkwardYeti.com and on most social media platforms.
I’ve been buying the Heart and Brain calendar for several years now, and it has become one of those small traditions that genuinely lifts my mood throughout the year. What keeps me coming back is how perfectly it captures the funny tug-of-war we all have between our emotional side and our logical side. Every month I get a genuine laugh out of the situations Heart and Brain find themselves in, not because they’re exaggerated, but because they’re so relatable.
The humour feels comforting. Sometimes the scenarios are silly, sometimes a bit too real, and sometimes they slip in a little message of hope that hits at exactly the right moment. It’s the kind of calendar you glance at quickly while walking past… and suddenly you’re smiling.
The illustrations are also a huge part of its charm. They’re bright, engaging, and full of personality, making each page something you actually enjoy looking at rather than just another date grid. It feels like a mini dose of happiness hanging on the wall.
After buying it year after year, I can easily say it’s worth it. If you want a calendar that not only organises your months but also brings a little joy and humour into them, Heart and Brain never disappoints.

PLEASE PRINT MORE 🙏
I’m so heartbroken I missed this! I have never been so late in my purchase! I have been buying these for years!! Before working from home, I had this hanging at my desk. Everyone in the officer looked forward to the reveal each month (reading ahead was forbidden!).
Now I am working from home, it still hangs at my desk here. And as a result, some of my colleagues now have the same annual tradition of buying this calendar every year!
On the first of the month, we share a photo of it, maintaining a fun tradition that keeps a joyful connection.
Alas, if print is not to happen, I still want to express my gratitude for the years of joy you have provided, and I will look forward to 2027’s calendar.
