Produktbeschreibungen
From School Library Journal
Grade 4-8–This wordless cartoon adventure is told in 60 rectangular frames per page that resemble tiny, animated film stills. Mister O cannot seem to get from one side of a canyon to the other. Page after page, he watches others successfully jump or fly or rocket to the other side, using grappling hooks and transporters and even eating cow dung to aid them. However, every time Mister O mimics their methods, he ends up plunging once again into the abyss. Every page chronicles a separate attempt at crossing, beginning with the circular-shaped Mister O peering over the cliff, trying a new approach, and ending up at the bottom. His fellow travelers are also simply drawn shapes: triangles, ovals, and cucumbers. Trondheim manages to express a wide range of ideas and emotions with his stick-figure characters. He uses an assortment of pleasant, earthy colors, changing backgrounds from lavender to brick red to pea green to prevent monotony. Featuring an inventive assortment of situations for Mister O and his never-ending, ever-failing quest, this hilarious book is guaranteed to please readers.–J. M. Poole, East Rochester Public Library, NY

Wonderful!
6. August 2005
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Image: A 6-year-old boy sitting crosslegged on the floor and a 40+ man leaning against a wall of comic books in NYC's Forbidden Planet store each reading Mister O. Both (unbeknownst to each other) following each panel of every page and literally laughing out loud...
P.S. I bought the book. Many congratulations to this brilliant author for managing to portray the complexities of life in such an accessible way!

Minimalist Genius!
2. April 2005
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
There are few comics as minimalist as Mister O, and few that will make you laugh as hard. The premise is utterly minor: a little round fellow reaches a chasm; he wants to cross it; he fails. Trondheim puts this tragic little script through dozens of variations, mostly depending on the means that Mister O tries to use to cross the chasm. The book is wordless, and its drawing style is so spare that it's almost "pure icon" -- the very foundation of cartooning. Mister O's failures are so frequently hilarious that Trondheim give you new respect for the power of comics to tell a story. I can't think of a humor collection I would recommend more highly.
So mean. And so painfully funny at the very end.

Lewis Trondheim, <strong>Mister O</strong> (Nantier Beall Minoustchine, 2004)
Meet Mister O. He's a circle, with arms, legs, and a very expressive face, especially given how minimal it is. And in these thirty-two strips, he faces a challenge: he needs to get across a gap. It's the same setup in each strip, and it usually leads to the same punchline (he does, rarely, make it to the other side before something awful happens to him), and I know I have recently castigated another graphic novel for that, but here it works. I have no idea why this is. But I laughed out loud (guiltily) at this more than I have at any other book I've read recently. The repetition does great once in a while, and by the thirtieth or so strip, you'll wonder if the final one is going to offer any resolution to this painful drama. I'm not going to spoil the answer to that for you, but I will tell you this: the final panel of the entire book is absolutely, positively worth the entire price of admission on its own. ***
