Praise for Smek for President: “Rex is a comic genius who has created a laugh- and groan-out-loud novel filled with spaceship chases, bubbling billboards, villainous villains, and reluctant heroes to say nothing of rousing games of Stickyfish and the obligatory of garbage pit. Hilarious cartoons will please graphic novel fans."―School Library Journal
