Wow! It’s not very often that a reader runs into a comic as funny, original, and ultimately touching as “Hereville.” I also love the way you capture both the warmth and the internal conflict present in any close family. Beautifully wrought!

This storyline being completed, when can we expect more Hereville? Obviously you have obligations regarding the publication arrangements, extra content for that, etc., but I look forward to having a reason to look forward to Wednesdays again 😉

I spent the whole of the evening, off and on, reading “How Mirka…” and I just wanted to say how great it was to read this! I agree with everyone looking for more of this story. Well done, Barry! Can’t wait for more!
