Life, death, the mind, time, how this world works, how women work. Im a little bit of an outcast myself, and when I do feel even more lonely than ussual I turn to my art or others and Blankets did very well to re-kindle my want for a female companion ( Previously I decided I would hate women forever). So in conclusion, thanks for Blankets, perhaps someday I could figure out how to draw with ink like you do, instead of using the pencils they provide at hell... sorry, school. Thank you.

I just read Blankets for the first time, and I just had to tell you that your work is incredible, amazing, marvelous, inspiring and magnificent. I've been a poet and writer for a while now, always trying and hoping to write something powerful, emotional and relateable. It seems I should put down my pen, because I could never surpass the sheer perfection of Blankets. Honestly, it's like you took my hope, distilled it, and then drew it onto the page. Like pretty much everyone else, Blankets reminds me so much of my own childhood, my own experience and my own struggles. You have a wonderful gift that you clearly utilize masterfully. May God bless you, Craig. I thank you for Blankets, which has made me a lifelong fan. I'm just about to order Goodbye, Chunky Rice and I will definitely order Habibi when it comes out. Keep up the good work! Hi Craig, I’m Takeshi from Texas.
