"Toriyama has one of the most slapstick manga styles I've ever seen, and one of the cleanest; he's a premiere humor artist, on a par with Phil Foglio or Evan Dorkin or any of the classic artists from Mad. His style is supremely economical; he doesn't waste a line or panel....this is an absolutely first-rate title and will be enjoyed by readers of all ages."

"If I was a 12-year-old, I'd think this was the greatest comic in the universe...(Toriyama's) rounded, loose line in delight, his timing impeccable...and he fills the pages with plenty of lauighs."
