Summary
Tedward is, in many ways, the quintessential ‘lovable loser’ - an almost literal blockhead and mangenue in the grand tradition of Pee-Wee Herman, Candide, and Flakey Foont, affording his creator the perfect vehicle to indulge his brilliantly absurdist storytelling instincts.

Critics Review
Tedward is a delight of misfortunes, a sort of showcase of a downfall. It’s a hilarious collection of brutal shorts, custom-crafted to make the reader as squeamish as they are amused.– “AIPT Comics”
Pettinger is one of those indie cartoonists who, though acclaimed, really deserve far greater recognition. Jump into the world of Tedward and see just why.– “Broken Frontier”
The hapless-yet-chipper oddball and his milieu are brought to life through crisp yet creepy art reminiscent of Dan Clowes’s early Eightball comics and Gilbert Hernandez’s idiosyncratic sci-tales in Love and Rockets. Fans of such gonzo cartooning will revel in the absurdism of this grotesque saga.– “Publishers Weekly”
There’s humor, suspense, crime, and romance all contained within this compilation of Tedward stories. The artwork is phenomenal at every page turn and you really get a sense that Pettinger is engrossed in the work.– “Miami’s Community Newspapers”
