Praise for Impossible Possums:
"Kids will giggle over this comically inventive story and Carls exaggeratedly humorous wickedness and will enjoy coming up with additional outlandish P possibilities the Populator could deliver. The dynamic, colorful digital illustrations are equally riotous, conveying sound effects and deploying typographical creativeness. Fast-paced fun and hijinks."
Kirkus
Praise for Impossible Possum for Mayor!:
"Rey Sanchezs speech bubbles and digital illustrations feel like screenshots for an animated film; rife with zany energy, theyll appeal to those making their first forays into comics. Fans of chaotic humor will be pleased as punch."
