Broken
Pencil
“David Lynch’s ether dreams meet Dennis Worden’s
Stickboy, while Edgar Allan Poe and Hillaire Belloc fist-fight
in Heaven. I didn’t sleep right for a few days after
reading this, and I’m a hard bastard.” (Full

Comic
Book Galaxy
“Goldfarb creates a new vocabulary for his art—what
does it mean, ‘Bethuseluh?’ Is there a funnier
turn of phrase than ‘Sweet Jesus, I've caught the
pox. I better get to bed!’ I think not.” (Full
review)
Comic
Readers
“Goldfarb
tells his stories in a smart and witty way, and I really
identified with his dry humour and nasty theories. ‘One
Thousand Sorrows’ is a graphic novel worth searching
out.” (Full
review)
East
Bay Express
“A genuinely weird venture featuring a protagonist
with a head shaped like a derriere who bears more than
a passing resemblance to Johnny Depp.” (Full
review)
Las
Vegas Mercury
“Although careful readers have observed the similarities
between author and subject, Goldfarb says he is different
than Stump because his imagined protagonist ‘parts
his hair in the middle.’” (Full

“Ogner Stump can very easily be compared to Franz
Kafka's Joseph K. However, Ogner lives in a more idiosyncratic
world that Tim Burton would admire.” (Full
review)
Optical
Sloth
“For anybody out there who likes bizarre, gothic
comics (Jim Woodring, Richard Sala, and Edward Gorey,
to name a few that fit in at least one of those categories):
you have a new hero.” (Full
review)
Poopsheet
“Packed with all of the dreamlike melancholy I could
take in one sitting.” (Full
review)
The
Shadow Gallery
“A clever trick; and it works. Andrew Goldfarb deploys
an idiosyncratic imagination in dreaming up the horrors
which might beset his hero.” (Full
review)
Silver
Bullet Comics
“Andrew has the visual inventiveness of a Terry Gilliam,
with artwork that is energetic but always immaculately
inked.” (Full
review)
Too
Much Coffee Man
“Something between chiaroscuro and woodcut, [Andrew
Goldfarb’s drawings] evoke a bit of Gahan Wilson,
but even more Charles Addams.” (Full
review)
