| VARIETY.COM ON THE BAKERS: "Kyle Baker may be too good and too funny for the good of comics. [...] This book is full of short, mostly silent and very funny tales of Bakers life as a father trying to get some rest, convince his kids there arent monsters under the bed, and most frightening of all, taking the brood to the mall to find a gift for his wife. Grade: A" Tom McLean, Variety.com |

AINTITCOOL.COM ON THE BAKERS: Now Im not a family man, but man did I love this book. [...] With an animators sense of timing, Baker exposes the pains of fatherhood, from being booted off the couch to make room for the kids to trying to keep a leash on all his rugrats when he goes shopping. [...] I really enjoyed seeing something a little warmer and grounded in the familiar (but still packed with plenty of paternal suffering). Much goodness! - Dave Farabee, Aintitcool.com |

THE BAKERS #1 also features the epic 32-page "The Mall" and a quartet of shorter tales. All are very funny, but I could see "The Mall" as a big-screen screwball comedy. Tony Isabella, Tony's Online Tips
