Some reviews for the first Little Nothings collection:

• “Quirky, cute, and yet microdetailed with the inflections of a peculiar life, Little Nothings is a hoot.” -- The Onion

• “Beautifully scribbled strips center on such existential hiccups as extreme self-doubt, spontaneous superstitions and unjustified paranoia.” -- The Washington Post

• “One is left feeling comforted by the shared absurdities of life in the 21st century. A charmingly lighthearted stroll through life.” -- Publishers Weekly

• ”Extraordinary artist.” -- Booklist

The art comes from leading European artists, including Cyril Pedrosa (Three Shadows), Olivier Vatine (Aquablue) and, of course, Dave McKean.
