Sometimes it's easier to let others describe what you're doing, rather than trying to explain everything yourself. So here, in no particular order, are some quotes about The Pinky Show that seem to confirm that our program is "the most fabulous show ever created in the history of humankind" (our characterization only; not an actual quote).

"With a simple aesthetic and a childlike voice, Pinky incites viewers to reflect on their actions and critically engage those from a different perspective with compassion and openness. The deadpan humor, amateur narration and animation, and astute social critique keeps many intrigued animals coming back for more."
- Leslie Dreyer, Art Threat

"I recommend The Pinky Show... [it's] one of my favorite things in the whole world. ...They do all sorts of weird educational videos on strange topics. ...I find it oddly compelling... (applause) We've got a link to the Pinky Show... in case you want to spend hours of time like I do listening to a cartoon kitten explain international war crime law to you!"
- Dr. Rachel Maddow, Rachel Maddow Show (Air America Radio)

"[The Pinky Show] takes the edge off political views and creates a new one that cuts deeper...and it's hosted by cats! ...One of my favorite new channels..."
- PsychoMelody, YouTube editor

"[Featuring] the strangely titillating combination of poorly hand-drawn illustrations, no-motion animation, and amateurish narration, they are the new Mr. Rogers for the postmodern thinking animal - weirdly irresistible and intellectually compelling."

"Pinky has a way of asking the most profound questions in such a simply charming format, it’s difficult to remain unaffected."
- Miss Andrea

"With its flat, black-and-white visual style and wry, deadpan sense of humor, The Pinky Show projects a deceptively simple feel... Keep an open mind and listen carefully or you'll be sure to miss much of its carefully constructed and subversive analysis...
A fascinating and discursive tour through the complexities of contemporary historical and social critique...[The Pinky Show] ought to be required viewing for every uptight, know-it-all college student in America."
- Morgan Kelley, from Entro, The Journal (Fall 2006)

"[The Pinky Show is] really nothing short of brilliant in its design. It kind of draws people to it with it's cute looking cats. Then it struck me off-balance with it's totally unexpected wisdom and intelligence."
- C. Webb

"Suddenly I'm enraged that a girl with no budget can draw a cartoon cat that gives a clearer, more reasoned, less sensational presentation of information than any of our current mainstream news outlets."
