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 Baker’s life as a father trying to get some rest, convince his kids there aren’t 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 I’m not a family man, but man did I love this book. [...] With an animator’s 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 Simpsons' and 'Family Guy' may dominate the television airwaves, but when it comes to family hijinx in comics, 'The Bakers' rule the neighborhood." Dave Howlett,BUZZSCOPE.COM
COLUMBUS ALIVE on KYLE BAKER "Reading a Baker book is like seeing the whole history of animation (or at least the highlights) distilled into a few well-chosen lines." J. Caleb Mozzocco, COLUMBUS ALIVE
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
