Critical Acclaim
After several complete webcomics and the original launch of www.jennyeverywhere.com, The Shifter received much praise in niche online communities. Soon the character became recognized and praised in the September 2003 issue of the Canadian publication of Exclaim!.

Famous quotes containing the words critical and/or acclaim:
“It would be easy ... to regard the whole of world 3 as timeless, as Plato suggested of his world of Forms or Ideas.... I propose a different view—one which, I have found, is surprisingly fruitful. I regard world 3 as being essentially the product of the human mind.... More precisely, I regard the world 3 of problems, theories, and critical arguments as one of the results of the evolution of human language, and as acting back on this evolution.”
—Karl Popper (1902–1994)
“in every language even deafanddumb
thy sons acclaim your glorious name by gorry
by jing by gee by gosh by gum”
—E.E. (Edward Estlin)
