"Cute portrays—in a distinct, consistent tone/style that I liked looking at and thinking about—a variety of entities (delightfully drawn by Mallory Whitten) enjoying, experiencing, and enduring situations in a manner that stimulated me intellectually and emotionally." - Tao Lin (author of Richard Yates, Shoplifting From American Apparel)

"Jordan Castro and Mallory Whitten made me feel better for a few moments of my life. I liked looking at the pictures, I liked the one with the two birds. The two birds seemed like they really liked each other." - Noah Cicero (author of The Insurgent, Treatise, The Human War)
