"…Perfect Nonsense: The Chaotic Comics and Goofy Games of George Carlson is a perfect gift for a fan of illustration and golden age comics and humor and absurdism…. This is a lovingly researched retrospective of all of Carlson's work. For all comics scholars this is a MUST HAVE." – Heidi MacDonald, The Beat
"…George Carlson [was] an under-appreciated, largely overlooked cartoonist, illustrator, game designer, and graphic artist extraordinaire who will finally get his due with the forthcoming release of Perfect Nonsense: The Chaotic Comics and Goofy Games of George Carlson…. The spirit of George Carlson’s playful, surreal world can be seen in everything from Pee-wee’s Playhouse to 24-hour comics." – Paul Tumey, The Comics Journal
"…a genyoowine sensibility." – Art Spiegelman
"…[A] master. Carlson… was an old-timer, …drawing funny pictures many years before comic books were invented…. I love nonsense or I probably wouldn't be a comic book fan, where about 90% of everything is nonsense in one way or another. But George Carlson took nonsense to another level…" – Pappy's Golden Age Comics Blogzine
"…[An] incredible artist… Samuel Beckett in a clever plastic disguise." – Harlan Ellison
"Genius" – Mykal Banta, Big Blog of Kids' Comics
