What They're Saying

Critics Review

“Some comics just need to be out in the world, due to their sparkling originality. Pepper, by Karl Stevens, is one of them. There’s not a false note anywhere and it is such a pleasure to read. You just dive in and you’re transported into a world of visual treats, intriguing narrative and zany humor. Cat lover, or not, there’s something her for everyone.”
—Henry Chamberlain, Comics Grinder

—Roz Chast

“You don’t have to love graphic novels to enjoy this little treasure of a book. It will make you smile, it will make you realize just how profound cats can be, and it might just make you look at your own cats in a whole new light.”
—Ingrid King, Purrs of Wisdom
