Bubbles says: "Cameron Arthur (b. 1999) presents five short stories in his debut book. Born in South Texas his comics take to the sprawling environment around him. Arthur's comics demand to be read, brilliant storytelling and dialogue flow through his timeless genre tales. I'm beyond proud to put out one of the great young talents drawing comics today."

"These narratives often feel pervaded by a sense of preordainment that can at times border on fatalism, and the characters in these tales bear the marks of lives emotionally flattened by the pressures of existence, yet each of them remains propelled forward by their own deliberate internal rhythm that moves to the beat inscribed within their beings."- From the Introduction by Bill Boichel
