""The dreamer wears a hat, the pragmatist feathers, and together they tackle life's eternal questions: Where are we? What are we doing here? And, Did I just eat an eraser? Four panels and the truth."" - Andi Watson, cartoonist The Book Tour, Breakfast After Noon, Kerry and the Knight of the Forest ""Webb whittles and peels back layers to find more and more in these spare but vast strips. A man, a bench, a pigeon; THE WORLD. They hang out up the street from Charlie Brown, Thoreau, Bushmiller, and Cage."" The Comics Journal, Best Comics of 2021 ""The Poet has a sense of humor about thinking hard and feeling deeply while not apologizing for such outrageous behavior. It's refreshing.""- Hal Hartley, film director "" Serene, existential, and self aware, Todd Webb's The Poet is a humorous and ultimately helpful respite from... everything."" - Adam J. Kurtz, author of Things Are What You Make of Them: Life Advice for Creatives ""These gently funny comics strike a happy balance between dreaminess and the corporeal world... an inarguably good thing."" - Heather Christle, poet and author of What is Amazing ""Todd Webb has figured out what poetry was missing all these years - PICTURES!"" - Derek Drymon, executive producer of Adventure Time ""I have been a joy-filled fan of Todd's work on The Poet for as long as I can remember. - Kevin Pollak, actor & comedian ""Poets like poems, and birds like donuts. This Poet and bird share the crumbs of their life with love, and the occasional jab in the ribs."" - John Porcellino, cartoonist King-Cat Comics & Stories ""Every poet is dumb, especially this one. Long live dumb poetry!"" - Haydee Toutou, poet & editor of The Skirt Chronicles ""I love The Poet. It reminds me of how we can be delicate and pompous at the same time..."" Tom Hart, cartoonist & founder of The Sequential Artists Workshop
