"A treasure. It's exquisitely crafted but never fussy. Informative, but never didactic, and moving in original and unexpected ways. A real triumph of biographical cartooning." - Anya Davidson (Band for Life, School Spirits)

"Ortega offers a window into the lives and struggles of our Mexican ancestors. His drawings and prose draw a parallel to the ongoing 'lucha' of today's immigrants." - Raul the Third (¡Vamos! Let’s Go to The Market!, Lowriders in Space)

"Dave's sensitive cartooning vividly captures both the quotidian and the grander events of the era with unsentimental artistry." - Rob Kirby

"Perfectly blends oral history with visual storytelling to give us a look into the way border politics have affected families for generations. Dave does the important work of documenting the wisdom and stories of his elders to translate them into a compelling visual narrative--comics done right." - Zeke Peña (My Papi Has a Motorcycle)
