Utne Reader profile, September, 1999 "Hilarious!
Should be in every paper in the country!" "The drawings are funny and the ideas are
wonderful zovirax online!" "The Next BIG ONE xenical!" "I love Alex's Restaurant. And I also love
how you're using the Net, as you say, to "break through the tyranny
of the cartoon syndicates." "Alex's is a great cartoon! I've been seeing it
more and more in papers around the country...." "....we've found a real gem in Peter Sinclair's
Alex's Restaurant, ...it's a hit with our readers, from educated
Baby Boomers to Gen Xers, who enjoy poking fun without being mean spirited
or cynical. Peter Sinclair is helping put "funny" back in the funnies.
" "Brilliant! Your mission is mine!" "Alex's Restaurant reflects not only where
the culture is, but where it's headed." "Corporate drop-outs fraternize in this daily strip
that makes light of emerging social trends before most of us have even
spotted them on the horizon.... a cartoon talent that's ahead of the
times." "Is the Internet about to produce another Dilbert?" "One of the Top 5 authors on the Internet!" "Here's a very hip, very kool Internet comic strip...
and an excellent look at the direction that our Sunday comics may be
headed in the future....truly funny......this is one comic that you'll
definitely make a daily stop for on the 'Net." "Look, this is not just another cartoonist on the Web...!"

| "You`re the Greatest Cartoonist
on the planet!!!" -M.S.HASAN@dundee.ac.uk "You are a great cartoonist!!" "I think you're the best cartoon on the web. I make it a point to read your strip every day. the best thing about "Alex's" is, i know these people and reality is hilarious, even if sometimes it's me...." "This strip is literally fall down funny.
I put it in the same category as the late and lamented "Bloom County"
and "Calvin and Hobbs"..." "my name is justin and i'm 13 i think
you are the best cartoonist ever." "I just discovered your strip and I love it. Keep the new-age cyber spoof coming. As a physician I especially liked the Andrew Wiley character." "the funniest, on-target comic strip
I've ever read, bar none." "After looking at your last 7 strips, I've gotta tell ya'. You're a lot more funnier to me than Dilbert." "You are a genius. I'm
off to work right this moment, but I want to link you to my Hot Sites
page tonight, because this is truely gorgeous material. Are you syndicated?
If not, why not?
"I'm doing a story about Alex's Restaurant
for Ha'aretz newspaper in Israel. I find the strip hilarious and even
relevant to Israel."
"You have a wonderful site. I don't often feel that way, but I just finished looking through a good portion of your site, and I am IMPRESSED! The interplay of your characters and the consistently right-on humor made me keep on looking at "just one more" strip or animation. You have a real winner here! What surprises me is that you don't have any kind of a page telling visitors about YOU. You're entitled to an ego with the quality of work you're showing. :) I won't be surprised if you're approached by an online magazine quite willing to pay you to use your work as a regular feature. I've seen quite a few sites of online cartoons, but none as incisively witty as yours......"
"Your work is sooo great! I'm truely impressed! I love the
parts of the animations where some small thing happens... like his eyes
look this way and that... yet it maintains the old cartoon strip metaphor.
This is really great stuff.
"I think your comic is truly great,
and I would be very happy if we could publish it here!"
"Just a note to tell you how hard I laughed at this weeks cartoons. It seems like you're really hitting your stride, humor-wise. ... had me on the floor!
"Fun stuff...thanks for sharing... Good timing on the animation
and its funny too."
"Very funny! Gave me just the laugh I needed after a grueling afternoon of web design!!!!!! I've bookmarked your page!"
Hi pete! My name is Linde Janssen and I'm from The Netherlands. I'm a big fan of you. I always enjoy your cartoons. You are really great. I don't know if we can get your work over here but a friend of mine showed me some of your work and it's really cool. You're simply the best.
"Co-o-o-o-ol! Great use for animated gifs! Funny too!"
"Very Cool, Peter Sinclair, very cool......."
"Just discovered your vegetarian cybercafe. Kudos to the master chef who put together this epicurean delight. Hope it lasts forever. I am bookmarking it as a "Favorite Place.""
"A fine little strip you have here!"
"I really enjoy your strip and think it is only a matter of time and you'll be syndicated to 1500+ newspapers."
"You have a really good page going on there. It takes alot to make a person laugh, and you have the talent. Thanks for letting us chuckle and keep it up, please. Here in Japan your comics may be the only ones we read until we get back to the states. P.S. cool name."
"I open the Internet every morning when I come to work, read the headlines from Nando Net then "go to Alex's for my coffee" - it's a ritual! I have to admit that at first I couldn't believe a relatively new strip would take on Doonesberry, but your stuff is great.!
"i really like yer restaurant!"
"I enjoy this strip very much and have been reading it faithfully for months now."
"Hi we are two boys boys from Sweden. We love your cartoons! We read it every week! You are our biggest idol! Do you have any fanclub?"
"I think what you did with your cartoons is terrific. The animation
is just right for my tastes. I hate the Las Vegas Strip animation circus
on some pages. "You're amazing!!!! I am a huge fan of yours and your work." I have to thank you as you made one of my alltime favorite Comics "Alex's Restaurant" and this is coming from a connoisseur of comics . "I love your comic Alex' Restaurant, its excellent!" "Today when anything at all is called "art" it is refreshing to see a top of the line cartoonist (that's you) put out recognizable 'messages'." "The animated Alex's is really cool!"
