Reviews

"The diverse visual styles surprise and captivate, as the black-and-white illustrations pulse with the same raw energy and sense of fun as the writing." - Library Journal "The loosely organized group of cartoonists, illustrators and animators that make up popular collective Meathaus has unleashed another big, fat collection of their comics work, and it's a veritable who's who of the medium's up-and-comers and already-there-ers. " - J. Caleb Mozzocco, Las Vegas Weekly
