Maybe its because Im a worried, concerned adult, but more likely its because nothing is ever as funny as it is when youre ten years oldand everything is a lot scarier."e; CapitalNewYork.com "e;The book is a wonderfully designed tribute to these shit-disturbing cards in all their graphic, full-color glory."e; ComicsBeat.com "e;There's a lot of interesting stuff in Spiegel man's intro, and in the afterward by John Pound, the artist who originated and drew the bulk of the Kids. But the real reason to buy this book is for the graphic brilliance of the art itself"e; Boston Phoenix
