“Ed Subitzky's cartoons are brilliantly funny, amazingly clever,
and frankly adorable. So, for that matter, is Ed himself. Thank God
all his amazing work has finally been collected in one place.”
—Mike Reiss, writer and producer for The Simpsons
“Subitzky has long been one of my favorite cartoonists; his
Dada-tinged minimalist comics set my brain on fire when I first
encountered them as a teenager. I'm not alone in having waited
impatiently for decades for someone [to] publish a collection of
his work... To me and many others, he remains one of the most
singular figures in comics history, and the new book should open
his brainy, bizarre take on the world to new audiences. It truly
deserves the attention.” —John Kelly, The Comics Journal
“I first saw Ed Subitzky's work in the Funny Pages section of
National Lampoon. I immediately loved his stuff. I thought his
comics were hilarious. Strange, surreal, interesting, never
show-offy, never mean or stupid. Ed Subitsky is one of my cartoon
heroes.” —Roz Chast
“By the time I graduated from high school I knew about bitter and
sweet, but thanks to cartoonists like Ed Subitzky, I also knew
about weird and rare and hilarious ways of changing one into the
other. [Subitzky] taught me to watch the people around me and
listen to how they talk and to write down what they say.” —Lynda
Barry, from Blabber, Blabber, Blabber: Volume 1 of Everything
