Review:

“(A) wonderful trip behind the scenes that all its fans who are curious about the creation of animation should take” - Cinema Sentries

"expertly handled by experience animation writer (and occasional cartoonist) O’Leary." - Animation Magazine

"This is a show I’m a big fan of and it gets a deserving loving treatment in this compilation of drawings, storyboards, concept art and even reference photos of actual objects and places that inspired some of its most iconic episode." - She Movie Geek

“My favorite inclusion is the “How to Draw” sections that cover detailed breakdowns for Mordecai, Rigby, Pops and Benson. I’ll have to give a shot! This is great book for any fan of the series or art; it’s visually appealing to all audiences and should inspire the next batch of young animators out there.” - City of Films

"If the stunning, textured cover alone doesn’t draw you in (no pun intended), then the artwork inside will." - Mugglenet

"I just received a copy and am quite delighted by it. This is the type of book we need more of - an in-depth look at current TV animated series with rare art and interviews with the principal creators" - Indiewire

“This books provides exactly the kind of behind-the-curtain information it’s often so difficult to find, like how sub sandwiches factor into which ideas become episodes and which ones don’t. And that’s not even to mention the artwork...To mention the artwork, this book is absolutely covered in conceptual drawings, pencil sketches, promotional material, floor plans for buildings on the show, and full scenes of storyboard-to-screen comparisons!” “10/10” - Project Fandom

"If you’re a fan of the TV animated series, you pretty well have to have this book." - Dogpatch Press

"A great addition to any Regular Show fan’s collection." - Strange Kids Club
