"I hope you like mysteries and teen antics and simians and being charmed off your feet, because Tobin and Coover deliver all that in <i>Banana Sunday</i>, their breakthrough graphic novel. It’s nothing short of dazzling."
- Jeff Parker, author of Batman '66,
"<i>Banana Sunday</i> is the kind of imaginative work that's perfect for comics. It's got a creative premise -- a girl named Kirby starts at a new school while taking care of three apes -- that would be too expensive or ludicrous to do anywhere else, yet it emphasizes internal conflict with sympathetic characters. The emotions are universal, such as young love on a first date or a reporter's conflict between loyalty and seeking the truth or the debate over how to stand up to a bully."
Comics Worth Reading
"Coover's style is pure fun on the page, with sweet looking girls and silly little monkeys. A perfect combination, if you ask me."
