"I just looked at a bunch of Yo, Miss, and it's riveting!...This is
such an amazing project--I'm not sure how you have the energy to
teach all day and do all this writing and drawing, but keep it
up!"
Alison Bechdel, Fun Home, Are You My Mother? "I've read and been
incredibly moved by your chapters - thank you. The story re.
Oedipus is so powerful that I've been telling it to others."
Deborah Meier, The Power of Their Ideas "...Lends a sense of
realism too often lacking in Hollywood portraits of inner-city high
schools... a brave and fascinating look at Wilde's workplace
realities."
Comics Rack: December's Best Comic Books
Brian Heater -- Boing Boing "She succeeds at revealing the anxiety
and the hope underlying her work at the school without soliciting
cheap empathy for her or her students fighting against the
odds...I'd recommend this zine on its merits as a comic and as a
snapshot of inner city American education."
Zine review of the month, April 2014
Joshua Barton -- Broken Pencil For anyone who has ever had
demanding experiences working in education Yo, Miss might trigger
violent flashbacks... Oh, the humanity. Get it and get
educated.
Sean Arenas - Razorcake "Lisa Wilde's black and white drawings
explode with complexity, layered metaphors and gorgeous
perspective..."
Joanna Clapps Herman
Author of The Anarchist Bastard and No Longer and Not Yet "Reading
your graphic novel was a transformative experience for me...It was
at once completely true - a realistic portrayal of the challenges
and day-today experiences of teaching, and also a work of art, in
that it took the truth and made it universal and beautiful and
painful and somehow more true than the day-to-day ever could
be..."
Alexis Goldberg, Achievement Coach, The Urban Assembly; Fellow,
Academy for Teachers Inspiring and heartbreaking
Martha Cornog -- Library Journal
