Add in the fact that it has Dean Haspiel as the editor and talent like Jonathan Ames, Nick Bertozzi, John Cebollero, Joan Reilly, Kevin Colden and Ed Piskor and I think its something anyone who likes their comics will want to check out—and there’s more to come.” … “a real treasure trove of short works by numerous creators.”

Comic Impact: “SMITH Magazine (who are the publishers of the 6-word memoirs and new book Six-Word Memoirs on Love & Heartbreak) has gathered an amazing cast of characters (including bigtimer veterans and newcomers alike: Harvey Pekar and Rick Veitch, Jonathan Ames and Nick Bertozzi, Ed Piskor, Kevin Colden, Barbara Rushkoff) to contribute comic strips depicting their most memorable next-door neighbor stories–and it’s surprisingly addictive.”

Boing Boing: “Barbara Rushkoff writes very witty and moving personal narratives… she recently wrote a terrific comic strip for SMITH magazine’s online Webcomix series ‘Next-Door Neighbor.’ ”

LVHRD.ORG: Their latest project, Next-Door Neighbor, features today’s brightest writers and illustrators spinning true tales of urban proximity. It’s just starting to unfold, but growing comfortably into the large shoes left by Smith’s earlier collections.
