Androo Robinson

“Androo Robinson's work looks like Linda Medley and Carla Speed McNeil got drunk and produced the best love child ever. His deeply-internalized knowledge of emotions and mind is irresistable. And his line-work is a treat.”
-Donna Barr

"...beautiful and magical, like your favorite children's books when you were eight, but with a wisdom you can take to heart at age 27. [Androo] draws pictures you want to fly right into."
-Maria Goodman, Book of Zines Homepage

"Deeply philosophical or a bunch of neat pictures? You decide."
-Jerianne, Zine World

“Androo Robinson fills this delightful zine with whimsical single-panel "picture fictions" that play with the imagination, illustrating everyday fairy tales that just may have actually happened. Each page is a little slice of a character's life and most deal with eccentricities (both real and imagined). I like it. Androo's fanciful writing inspires this reader to pay a little more attention to the stuff that really matters. Plus, it's accompanied by great drawings.”
