Here's some reviews
for "YETS!":
"YETS!" serves as an excellent reminder
of how much fun comics can be for all ages."
"Bocianowski's mix of cartoon animals and Tolkienesque fantasy
is plenty delightful for both children and adults.
Topics like peace, patience, friendship are handled simply enough
for kids to understand without coming across as sappy or preachy to the
parents.
--Jim Thompson (Comics Buyer's Guide) Issue
#1596 September 2004
"...Mike
Bocianowski is the next
Walt
Kelly!"
-Chris Yambar
"Yets!, is very, very nice. I liked it alot. It's very
sensitve."
-Pat Block
(Uncle
Scrooge/DonaldDuck comics)
"This is awsome! Mike has a really nice flow in the
drawings!"
-Robert A. Kraus
(RAK
Promotions/ChakanThe Forever Man)

Book
one:
"A Heck of an Adventure!"
Chuck the Ugly American hates everything,
except one thing.
Here is what the
reviews are saying:
"...he may become the best thing for humor comics since The Simpsons."
- Sean Twist, Things you Missed, WizardWorld April 3, 2001
"Bocianowski seems at the top of his writing and artistic game in this
story, a tour de force of Kong-sized garbage bags, unpleasant neighbors,
mythological misadventures, and, most surprisingly and entertainingly, love
found and lost....
...My final call? Well, what with Chuck glaring at me from that cover, I'm
gonna recommend this book. You don't scare me half as much as he does."
- Tony Isabella's Journal 952

ancient race of flesh-eating critters who love to bite where it hurts most!

has taken over the city! Redhat Industries is in control

chief executive officer, The Prince of Darkness.
Chuck doesn't know what the heck is going on.

adventures in South America and New York City.

So the
question is:
Can an Ugly American who hates everything,
stop the king of hatred?

Some may question why a character as overtly negative as Chuck is
necessary in this day and age of modern enlightenment and
self-gratification. The answer is simple, really: Chuck is as necessary as
Archie Bunker, Oscar the Grouch, or Becker. He's loaded with social
commentary and tons of anti-political correctness. Those two points alone
may very well make him the most honest creature on God's green earth! If
Chuck says it, he means it. What we see is what we get with Chuck. He wears
his underwear in public. Who knows? Maybe his unique sense of fashion will
catch on. Hey--it worked for Madonna!
Chuck may not be a bleeding heart, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have
one way, way, way deep down inside. He's not mean-spirited either. As a
matter of fact, Chuck is sort of a lightning rod for destruction and
universal backlash. Giant monsters and demons stalk him. Women laugh at him.
Bad weather follows him and his house is constantly being wiped out by
disaster. And worst of all, his coffee is always cold when he goes out on
the town. In short, life for Chuck is one big endurance test.
We have a wonderful opportunity to walk in Chuck's shoes without ever
actually having to put them on. He's a modern day Job; and with that in
mind, we know there's a mighty big pay-off up the road for our hero. We
should be so lucky."
- Chris Yambar, 10/30/99 (creator of Mr. Beat, The Fire-Breathing Pope;
publisher of Moordam Comics; co-publisher of Comic Library International;
writer Bongo Comics)
