"In Anouk Ricard's gently bonkers satire, an everyman wage-earner endures the indignities foisted upon him by his zany boss and downtrodden co-workers. [Ricard] just barely cushion[s] her pointed jabs at the insular, dysfunctional families we construct at work." --The Globe & Mail "Combine absurdity with Ricard's simplified, charming funny animal art style and you've got a very funny comic. Ricard has a healthy appreciation for the ridiculous that is as infectious here as it is in [her] Anna books." --Comic Book Resources "[Benson's Cuckoos] is like a fever dream of workplace anxiety drawn by Richard Scarry for those worn down by the business grind... Those who've worked office jobs with self-important, rude, or clueless coworkers (and who hasn't?) will appreciate the satire." --Publishers Weekly "Surreal workplace comedy as performed by anthropomorphic animals." --Tim O'Neil, AV Club
