“Sergel’s visuals fall in the same school as Nick Drnaso and Chris Ware… …this focus on details shows where Sergel’s attention is going, a method of communicating the subjectivity of experience without spelling it out. Form serves function beautifully.” - Paste Magazine, The 25 Best Comics of 2016 (So Far)
"Sergel’s visuals skillfully juxtapose the heated emotions of the story with the posed, deadpan quality of his characters, loading this snappy, pocket-sized parable with equal amounts of drollery and poignancy—and just a touch of menace." – Publishers Weekly
"The uncomfortable truth with which Bald Knobber leaves the reader is the assertion that much of this country’s history is the history of violence smoothed over not by justice but by time." – The Comics Journal
