[Przemysław Skoczyński · Rating 4 out of 5]

"Kap trap" to z jednej strony ciekawostka, bo autor miał zaledwie 18 lat, gdy powastała, a z drugiej pozycja bardzo dojrzała, choć króciutka i wydana w miniaturowym formacie. Przewrotna historia o próbie przetrwania w masce skrywającej tożsamość. Wbrew pozorom nie tylko dla najbardziej zagorzałych fanów autora

[Mark Gatz · Rating 4 out of 5]

A small, simple comic by May Brinkmanship. It tells a simple, sad story drawn wonderfully by the author.

Right out of the gate Mat Brinkman created a world that he’s further defined in more recent comics. He pens darkly realistic unreal stories, like this one, KAP TRAP — without a word of dialogue — one of his first. It’s captivating in the best way only a cartoon can be, in that the drawings tell the story and make a kind of sense that can’t be articulated. Well, obviously not by me.
