Critics Review
“Though no one does galumphing human failure better than Ollmann, thankfully his tongue is also ever in his cheek.” —The Guardian, Best Books of 2021
“Portraying the aimless, alcoholic son of an aloof, philandering cartoonist, Ollmann blends jovial grotesquerie with a surprising generosity of spirit.” —The Globe & Mail, Best Books of 2021
“Readers—especially those with a keen interest in the history and mechanics of comics—will appreciate Ollmann’s formal playfulness and emotional honesty.” —Shelf Awareness
