From the rear cover
[front flap]
The joyful arrival of a longed-for baby is followed by overwhelming losses, but a loyal dog makes happiness possible again. This moving and profound graphic novel by R. O. Blechman treats its solemn subject with humor, simplicity, and warm humanity.
Maurice Sendak characterized the tale as "fierce, passionate little pictures that pack a punch only Blechman seems capable of delivering," and Jules Feiffer observed that "Long-time fans are well aware of Blechman's elegant cartoon-poetry, but in Georgie, his quiet, measured pace moves the reader onto darker terrain, presented in a sweet and tragic man-and-dog story that calls for a second reading, and perhaps, more."

[back cover]In Praise of R. O. Blechman
"The jewel-like mind and eye of this rare artist persuade me that all is not lost in Bookland."--Maurice Sendak
"Miraculously, Blechman breathes life into his microscopic world. His little figures, because of their very shakiness, call out to us for sympathy. They personify human frailty, human foolishness. This is cartooning at its best."--Seth
"A great graphic novelist, very avant la lettre."--Art Spiegelman
"In a class by himself."--The New York Times
"Boldly original."--Edward Sorel
"A trailblazer."--Jules Feiffer
