Commentary
“Paul Palnik is in his own way an artist who expresses his philosophy in images and fantasies drawn with originality. He is in his own way unique.”
Isaac Bashevis Singer - Winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature
“Palnik’s calendar with its words and drawings is a gift, a beautiful gift”
Ellie Wiesel - Winner of the Nobel Prize for Peace
“Paul Palnik’s drawings hang on my wall, I give them to friends as gifts. He has the skill of a fine cartoonist and the insights of a wise man. To use the steel of wit in a cynical way is not hard, but to use it constructively takes genius and a generous spirit, not in short supply in Palnik’s extraordinary art.”
Robert Fulghum - Author and Religious Philosopher
“What a breath of fresh air! Palnik’s drawings are terrific. I found myself laughing out loud alone in my office and trying to overcome my desire to sit all day and read his book. I thoroughly enjoyed it.”
Bill Moyers - PBS Television
“Palnik represents the very best of highly imaginative and sensitive cartoon art. His work abounds with intelligence and humor.”
Will Eisner - International Museum of Cartoon Art
“Palnik is a universal Gilray for today and his draughtsmanship is exquisite. If you already have your Hogarths, Bunburys, and Cruickshanks, Steigs and Gluyas Williams, you must add to them your Paul Palniks.”
Chauncey Howell - Art Critic, NBC Television
“If we can’t find ourselves in Palnik’s cartoons, we’re bound to find someone we know. Happy or sad, profound or absurd, Palnik’s people are real.”
Business First Magazine
“Palnik’s cartoons have three dimensions within them; the Black and White and the Soul. Contrary to many other cartoons, you feel that his images are living, almost popping out, ready for action and full of wit.”
Ranan Lurie - Time Magazine
“Paul Palnik is so good he should be in the Bible.”
Dr. Robert Carrol - The University of Glasgow, Scotland. Department of Biblical Studies
