Praise for The Escapologist #2
“…there’s just an irresistable pull to [the pages], they draw me in, over and over and over. Each image has meaning no doubt, but it’s the beauty of the image in isolation and the cumulative effect that wins me over. I could stare happily at each panel for so long, lost in the ideas it helps form as my own thoughts wander and fly, connecting, imagining.
Repeated readings / viewings don’t necessarily glean new information, but they do encourage my mind to wander, reflective and open, a glorious, uplifting experience brought out by such simple lines, but so beautifully done.”
-Richard Bruton, Forbidden Planet International
Praise for The Escapologist #1
“This is mostly a wordless tale with one fantastic quote at the end. To me this comic was both a chance to escape for a minute or two (as the title implies) while also contemplating the manner in which the entire world fits together. That’s damned tricky to accomplish, and it may or may not have been what he was shooting for, but that’s what I saw.”
- Kevin Bramer, Optical Sloth
Praise for The Sorry Entertainer
“Simply put, this is the way to do an anthology. “
- Justin Giampaoli, 13 Minutes
Praise for Smoo 3
”Simon M is starting to transcend his influences, but more importantly he’s unlocking ways to use his strengths as an artist and meld them with his particular point of view and observational acuity.”
- Rob Clough, High/Low
Praise for Smoo 2 1/2:
“… for me, there are few mini-comics creators whose random thoughts are actually fascinating and don’t degenerate into stereotypical navel-gazing, but Simon M. is certainly one of those elite few…”
- Justin Giampaoli, Poopsheet Foundation
Praise for Smoo #2:
“the drawing is really top-notch and I love the creative layouts, and the whole issue had a feeling of goodness and humility about it”
- Jason Martin, Laterborn.
