Review:

"These cartoons are indeed so weird that they border on being deranged. Since they are also amusing and unorthodox, they can be an important part of this nutritious breakfast." -- Sam Hurt, creator of Eyebeam

"Wheeler's cartooning style is simple and effective; his writing is full of hard truths, observed too closely for comfort. This is seriously funny stuff." -- Lewis Shiner, World Fantasy Award winner
