Kirkus Reviews

Readers are given virtually no backstory; however, the experience is much like jumping into the middle of a season of an animated show, and most readers should be able to follow the action and silliness without too many quibbles. Zany overload with a quiet message. 

Booklist

From the faux-clunky cartooning—all thick lines, whacked-out proportions, and garish colors—to the surreal, stream-of-consciousness narrative, the whole business feels like it fell out of the head of the zaniest kindergartener in the class. But, in fact, it’s calibrated for pure young-reader joy by a long-standing master of comics eccentricity.

Review quotes

"A wacky, fun, read for early graphic novel fans or reluctant readers." —Seira Wilson, Amazon Editor
James Kochalka
James Kochalka is, without question, one of the most unique and prolific alternative cartoonists working in America today. His comics have been published internationally by nearly everyone from the smallest alternative publishers to some of the largest publishing houses on earth; he's recorded several music albums under the name James Kochalka Superstar (in 2006 his song "Britney's Silver Can" was named one of the 100 greatest songs of the year by Rolling Stone); and he's developed animated cartoons for Nickelodeon and Cartoon Hangover. He is the first official Cartoonist Laureate of the state of Vermont, appointed in 2011. Among his best known works are the Monkey vs Robot series, the beloved children's series Johnny Boo, Dragon Puncher, Glork Patrol, Banana Fox, and his magnum opus, the 14-year span of daily diary comics known as American Elf.
