Sikoryak is famous for taking classic comics and mashing them with famous literature as he did in <i>Masterpiece Comics</i> or even using comics to visualize the iTunes Terms and Conditions contract.

Sikoryak."--Michael Cavna, <i>Washington Post</i></p><p>"A beautiful celebration of comic-book art and a spectacular satire of President Evil."--Mark Peters, <i>Salon</i></p><p>"Under the shadow of the impending Trump administration, many people aren't sure whether they want to laugh or cry. Artist R. Sikoryak has us doing both."--E.C. Flamming, <i>Paste</i></p><p>"It's both amazing and depressing at the same time..."--Katharine Trendacosta, <i>iO9</i></p><p>"If you're one of those people who always considered comic book dialogue to be too unrealistic, bombastic, or plain silly, then real life has nothing on art when it comes to the utterances of Donald J.
