I like it and hope it succeeds. Best of luck.

Roberta Gregory called Capt. Zap “deceptively simple” - and she’s dead on! This is not a book that panders to a low common denominator and that isan increasing rarity in this field. Oliver Simonsen has something to say - and i want to know what happens next.

I found Captain Zap to contain a great use of sequential art techniques, with the deceptively simple art and story concealing a number of serious themes. A breeze to read and very funny in places. A-1 is a great little character and ripe for merchandising possibilities. I also really liked the unhurried pace of the strip.

Very enjoyable! Minimalistic comics that are heavy on allegory are a favorite of mine.

issue 1: I really enjoyed the disenchanted robot’s dilemma. Don’t we all feel trapped in a routine programmed for us by jobs, authority figures, and financial commitments? And don’t we all find the compromises we make for our contentment repulsive at times? Your comic captured this and more in a cute and compelling manner.

issue 3: nice job on #3! the need “to cage” and “be caged” was covered
quite nicely in your latest chapter. And with the nutty threesome now in the spaceship we’re in for a wacky ride.

ISSUE 4: The book was great. Simple, but with a nice tone. Something you can read to your kid and let him enjoy as well. also, really liked the inking style in this one - can't wait for the next issue (as usual). Nice cover too by the way.

Another foolish artist who has made a commitment to comics. (as if there was a choice). I enjoyed your work and any feedback would only be
reiterating Mary Fleener’s astute observations. by issue 4 your line work looks bolder (brush? Good!). Keep up the good fight.
