   Well done. Mad Magazine look with that disturbing unknown world of what’s up with some of your neighbors.

   Great New York-centric N-D-N story in the MAD mold! That was some powerful prayer that drove the Moraleses and the Garcias from “paradise”! I particularly liked the TV-looting blackout grandma on the first page.

   Very enjoyable. Great writing and great art.

   Hey Michele,

   As the oldest (as in knowing you the longest) of your friends, I can say that looks nothing like your mother. And she would have made you clean the floor! Ha, ha, ha (or lol if you prefer) Great strip. (Poor mouse.)

   Great job Rick and Michele!

    Great crazy story, and I love the beautiful grotesquerie of the artwork. I’d love to see it larger so I could take in all the gruesome details.

    Great story and art. I want to see more of Rick’s cool artwork. I especially liked all the characters leaning out of the apartment windows. I bet Rick could create a funny strip about each one of them.

    My kind of story. This should win an award.

    Great story telling. It’s very reminiscent of he old MAD magazine but at the same time is someting I’ve never seen before. Really like the art, Rick.

    I must show my appreciation to the wreitr for rescuing me from this type of issue. As a result of scouting throughout the world-wide-web and seeing suggestions which were not productive, I figured my entire life was well over. Living minus the answers to the problems you’ve resolved all through your entire review is a serious case, and the kind which could have adversely damaged my career if I hadn’t discovered your blog post. Your primary skills and kindness in touching all the pieces was very useful. I don’t know what I would’ve done if I hadn’t come upon such a stuff like this. I am able to now look forward to my future. Thanks a lot so much for your impressive and effective help. I will not be reluctant to recommend your web blog to anyone who would like support about this topic.

    I have to show my appreciation to the wretir for rescuing me from this type of circumstance. Right after scouting throughout the the net and obtaining basics that were not productive, I was thinking my life was done. Existing minus the approaches to the difficulties you have fixed by means of your main guide is a serious case, as well as the kind which could have badly damaged my entire career if I hadn’t noticed your web blog. That training and kindness in controlling every part was very helpful. I am not sure what I would have done if I had not come upon such a thing like this. It’s possible to at this moment look forward to my future. Thanks for your time very much for this high quality and sensible guide. I will not be reluctant to refer the website to anybody who requires recommendations on this situation.

    My spouse and i were quite jouyfl Louis managed to do his research through the entire precious recommendations he grabbed through your web pages. It’s not at all simplistic to just happen to be making a gift of information and facts that many most people have been making money from. And we also consider we need the blog owner to be grateful to for that. The explanations you have made, the easy site menu, the relationships your site give support to foster it is most superb, and it’s leading our son and the family do think that content is interesting, and that is rather vital. Thanks for the whole thing!
