Recenzii

 'Quarantine Comixhas that rare opportunity for a comic series to resonate with the majority of the population ... Relatable, amusing and heart wrenching.'

‘In a period where every day seemed the same, Rachael found a way to make every day different. A tiny, comforting light of understanding, humour and hope in a dark time.’

'At a time of unthinkable separation ... what Rachael was feeling and what she was thinking was never held at arm's length, but given generously, as her work always is.'

'Achingly honest thoughts, feelings, and anecdotes to remind us that we are not alone.'

‘These comics were a lifeline to so many of us. A ridiculous, humane insightful, pointed lifeline.’

‘One of the best things to come out of lockdown.’

‘Harrowing! Heartfelt! Hilarious! Cartoonist Rachael Smith’sQuarantine Comixare a brutally honest assessment of our internal strife, with more vim and vigour than a Yorkie bar and wine chaser.’
