"The Cutest Cartoons in Existence"
I randomly ran into Bluebison on the internet a few years ago, and I was instantly hooked. Not only was I grabbed by the cuteness of the characters and the hilarious randomness of the stories, I was also inspired to design my own cartoons, in part greatly influenced by Roberts. I think his work should be a daily or weekly cartoon in the Los Angeles or New York Times. Right next to Calvin and Hobbes, especially in terms of the cuteness factor. Heck, I'm a girl. I can't help admitting to cuteness! I would just drool over the pictures. Hayes Roberts' work also inspired me to publish on Lulu.com!
"Wow!"
Hayes Roberts's books are pure genius, and his illustrations are unique and amazing. I'm a 5th grade teacher, and I can't wait to use his books in my classroom to teach my students about plot and conflict.
