"Wait. .. It Gets Worse is a revelation, the marriage of great writing and, great artwork, something far too rare in comics and graphic novels. In fact Wait…It Gets Worse can't get any better I loved it. -Drew Friedman
Just when you thought richly realized comics by mature creators had to be all corporate, along comes Wait ... It Gets Worse, kicking down doors with spirited wisdom.'' -David Collier
"Wait. .. lt Gets Worse follows in the tradition of the best underground comix and the great autobiographical confessional funny books, including Weirdo magazine, but above all, it excels at that rarity of rarities, wildly entertaining stories.'' -Jon B. Cooke, The Book of Weirdo
