"Original and clever." -- Belinda Gibson
"I was recently introduced to your cartoons about Basho. They are wonderfully lighthearted. Just wanted to say I enjoyed the cartoons and, if you will forgive my muse, coined them "kutooons". They are a great way to learn about Matsuo Basho." -- Dennis (chibi) Holmes
"Great fun!" -- Mike Montreuil
"Wow . . . I had never seen this . . . I am totally charmed. The comics are wonderfully done and professional. I would certainly read this everyday, if it appeared in a newspaper. Quite a few of the poems are more than just "good"! . . . the simplicity of the figures, the wonderful expressiveness of the faces in just a few strokes --- that is classic, cartooning talent ---- the sweetness of it all, the gentle good humor . . . I admire what Tremblay has done here: it is the best thing of its kind I have ever seen. I think I may have become an instant fanatic for this . . .!!!" -- Michael McClintock
