"Elio consistently impresses me with his supercharged kid-friendly comics. His style is wholly distinct, and everything he does seems to explode with joy and pure fun." -- John Martz, Drawn!

"2 scoops of silly, 5 cups of cute, and a bucket load of fun! Chris Eliopoulos has the recipe for awesomeness and he's used it to cook up a super yummy comic treat. Every panel in Okie Dokie Donuts is filled with charm and playful imagination. It's more fun than a donkey in a pudding factory!" -- Bob Boyle, creator of Nick Jr.'s Wow! Wow! Wubbzy! and author of Hugo and the Really, Really, Really Long String

"Lively and fun... it's hard to resist such a good-hearted book." -- Graphic Novel Reporter

"A mixture of Pablo Picasso and Cartoon Network... laden with eccentric charm." -- The Daily Blam!

"Spirited and delightful... Goofy, witty, and tons of fun." -- ForeWord

"Eliopoulos creates a confection of zaniness, from the breathless slapstick and the wild, blocky art right down to the childlike lettering that fills the speech balloons... As tasty a morsel for humor-starved children as donuts themselves." -- Booklist

"Anyone who enjoys cool comics art should find plenty to love in here. Eliopoulos' panels are jam-packed with busy little-details... and the art is all colored in a limited, doughnut-shop palette of browns, whites, oranges and pinks. Like the snack in the title, the book is small, but sweet and satisfying." -- CBR Robot 6

"Okie Dokie Donuts has the manic energy and sarcastic charm of a Marx Bros. movie, so don't sell it short. You don't have to be a kid to enjoy this sweet treat." -- Comic Book Bin

"Eliopoulos's art is stunningly hip, fun, and a stylish treat for the eyes... His writing is cute and fun, the perfect Saturday morning cereal in comic format." -- Comic Attack
