Praise
"Madonna's drawings are among the most quietly beautiful things published in an American newspaper."
The New York Times
"A singular voice in American comics — part architect, part poet."
The Comics Journal
"All Over Coffee captures something essential about urban solitude."
San Francisco Chronicle
"Madonna has invented a new form — not quite comic strip, not quite prose poem, not quite architectural drawing, but something that borrows from all three."
