There is a 112-page book from 2024 by Liz Climo titled Life in the Present: a joyful collection of comics about living in the moment. As shown above (in my version), the cover has a hamster looking out from a window in a gift box. That comic is shown on page 84. Its first frame has the hamster reading a book and is captioned:
“True happiness comes when you live in the present.”
Four sections in it are titled:
Work (page 7)
Play (page 32)
Rest (page 60)
Reflect (page 85)
There is a post by Rafael Velez at the threadless blog on July 19, 2024 titled Liz Climo on Living in the Present: Comics, Joy, and Everyday Magic.
And three examples of dialogue in this book from her cartoons are:
Page 34
Bear (playing cards): I get so nervous making new friends. What if they’re grumpy? Or have nothing to say? What if they get on my nerves?
Rabbit (also playing cards): Do you ever wonder if anyone feels that way about you?
Bear (still playing cards): Oh, no, I’m a delight.
Page 58
Penguin: Let’s hang out sometime. What’s your number?
Turtle: 6.
Penguin: Just 6?
Turtle: Yeah, I’m really old.
Page 89
Weasel (reading text from shark): Everyone is scared of me, do you think it’s because I’m so brutally honest?
Weasel (replies): Nah, dude, it’s because you’re a shark.
Many other cartoon are shown in a series of seven collections over at boredpanda:
