"Hooyman will comb and smooth and style your neurons with his groovy lines of beauty." --Jonathan Lethem (Motherless Brooklyn & Dissident Gardens) "Kevin Hooyman's Conditions on the Ground blew my mind in a way few comics have. This collection... is astonishing." --Dan Brown, The London Free Press "Illustrator and cartoonist Kevin Hooyman's comics are full of wiggly lines, shaky text, fog and cyclones, butts, and straight-up hilarity. Do not disregard these, seriously." --Librairie Drawn & Quarterly Books of the Week "Conditions On The Ground is 350 beautiful pages of existential and meditative comics. It had me smiling all day." --Farel Dalrymple (Pop Gun War & The Wrenchies) "Someone's got to bring back dispatches from the creatures of the farthest reaches and I'm glad Hooyman is up for the task." --Brian Chippendale (Ninja, Maggots, If 'N Oof) "This is for comics readers who love the form but tire of its standard content or for non--comics readers who doubt the form can achieve the bizarrely sublime." -- Booklist "Comics are good. Anyone who feels similarly, would do well to pick up this hefty tome and leaf through it; just open it at random and read whatever you find." -- Copacetic Comics Selected for Best American Comics 2015
