I’ve been looking for cartoon books for adults for a long time, but the answer I get is “um AKSCHUALLY read graphic novels 🤓” or “cartoons are for babies, books are meant to be imagined”. I’m **specifically** looking for a regular book with illustrations along the line of Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Captain Underpants, Big Nate, and Dork Diaries. I am **NOT** looking for graphic novels.

I *never* say this, but you should probably read Homestuck if you haven’t already.
You could find illustrated editions of many adult books, especially popular ones like Lord of the Rings or Neverending Story and so on.
There is The Many Assassinations of Samir, the Seller of Dreams by Daniel Nayeri and the Monster Blood Tattoo trilogy by DM Cornish, which are geared more towards youth but have some adult themes (not to mention I read both of these as an adult and found them enjoyable).
There are also some narrative nonfictions that have interesting illustrations like From Here to Eternity by Caitlin Doughty and Women and Other Monsters by Jess Zimmerman.
