Review:

"Mike Dawson is one of the best observational cartoonists working in comics today."-- Rich Barrett, Mental Floss

"Dawson's explication of his life is sincere, reflexive, and imbued with an admirable level of craft" -- The A.V. Club

"Nothing encourages a little healthy reflection and self-assessment like having a kid. The cartoonist Mike Dawson has two, and in recent years he's been publishing searching, honest short comics about the doubts and worries that parenting provokes. The comics are unique in their willingness to interrogate many of the tricky issues around modern family life: How responsible can a parent be for his children's safety? How much can a feminist father do to change the way others treat his daughter and son? How honest should we be with our children when that honesty fosters new fears? Dawson doesn't claim to have the answers, but watching him wrestle with the questions is more satisfying anyway." - Dan Kois, Slate Book Review
