What others have said about previous issues of So Buttons:

Chris Staros (Top Shelf) “So I went to L.A. - Nice story -- learned something too.”

Nick Bertozzi (The Salon) "Don't let Baylis fool you. Yes, his comics are funny, but I read them for the quiet, human moments that will stick with you long after you've finished reading."

Dean Haspiel (on L.A./Kong) “I really dug 'So I Went To L.A.' great story/great art. The King Kong tale was fun, too [nostalgic]. I dig the artist you're working with. You two make a swell pair.”
