"I could have easily read a book full of these strips, and their mix of social & political commentary and flawless comedic timing make them unusual in the world of comics." -Rob Clough (Review here)

"I am an ardent admirer of your work-- the sense of timelessness in your images that connects to the great newspaper strips and animation of the past, the simplicity of line, and most of all the humor. "Lifer" and "Fat Chaplin" are wonderful!"-Ryan Standfest

"Cowdry is an excellent cartoonist. His artwork is clean and crisp, his characters jump off the pages in moments of brilliant insight, twisted humor, and comical slapstick." -Poopsheet

"Keep up the good work" - Peter Bagge

The Bedsit Journal Three issues available.
