His cartoon work with Harry Bliss is particularly gratifying because they have a natural affinity for each other. For someone who became famous as a solo performer, it speaks to Martin's curiosity and eagerness to play. This graphic memoir about Martin's 40-year career in the movies is unassuming and tidy--it goes down easy." -- Esquire, "The Best Celebrity Memoirs of All Time" "Martin's warm reminiscences, complemented by Bliss' engaging artwork, succeed in creating a book that offers chuckles and insights in equal measure." -- THE SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE "[A] clever and original way to approach a memoir, and it's delightfully executed.
