Reviews

"Seth is one of the greatest cartoonists who's ever lived." --Chris Ware, author of Building Stories "The drawings are a feat of wonder, their composition built on the architectural blueprint of loneliness." --Heather O'Neill, author of The Lonely Hearts Hotel "Pulling out the 24th edition of Seth's Palookaville from its mailing wrapper, it's hard not to feel like a kid at Christmas." --The Comics Journal "[Seth's] comics read like having a conversation with an old-souled stranger, the kind who touches your life only once but leaves a lingering fingerprint in memory for all time." --BlogCritics
