What Readers Are Saying
“There aren’t enough all-ages comics like this.”
“Comics are a medium that kids should be able to enjoy, and unfortunately, so many use adult themes and are gory or over-sexualized. I love that you created something truly for all ages. Kids, especially, will get a real kick out of it.
— Jarod
“A positive message with charm and heart.”
“Panel Pete provides a positive message for a younger audience. There’s an innocence to him, with a rambunctiousness that is charming. If you continue The Chronicles of Panel Pete, I see these early issues as a way to refine and grow the character. Self-publishing and building a fandom is a great approach. Thanks for sharing your creation.”

“I love the message!”
“This looks awesome! I love the message. Great work on this!”
— Brandon
“Anyone could read this and take away the message.”
“I really enjoyed it. The scene where Panel Pete turns into a snake against the bullies was great, and I love that the story ends with the characters on good terms. Billy bringing the book back so someone else could get help was such a cool touch. I really feel like anyone could read this and take away the message. I’m so excited for you!”
