"'The Professor and the Paperboy' follows the adventures of distinguished theoretical physics instructor Reginald Cornelius Oozeman III and his paperboy Grover whom he eventually sends into another dimension. As Nicholas Gazin wrote in Vice: 'Oh shit this shit is great. This is a giant oversize comic about a long-haired dirtbag who hangs out with some sort of wizardy ass scientist. The scientist gives him some things to help him on his quest and then the kid goes off into another dimension and has adventures which seem like an excuse for John Malta to draw cool things. This is a must-have thing. You gotta get it. It’s great. He’s an up-and-comer but also a here-and-nower. If you like Matt Furie Alex Schubert Michael Deforge or guys like that then you’ll be jizzing all over this thing. As a warning the cover is made of really soft paper and mine got super torn up on the way home.' New York: SVA Alumni Society unknown
