		Thompson himself is the protagonist, and this is his tale of growing up, falling in love (and realizing the physical and moral complications that can imply), discovering the texture and limits of his faith, and arriving at a point from which he can look back at those experiences.

	~Carnet De Voyage : Craig Thompson~

		Thompson apologizes at the beginning of Carnet De Voyage because he feels the book is too self indulgent and refers to the book as a "little snack" to be consumed while he is working on his next big project.

	Blankets - Craig Thompson - Graphic novel review
		In Craig Thompson's nearly 600-page autobiographical masterpiece Blankets, the reader is taken on a journey through the reminiscences of the author.
		Thompson's numerous Memory Lanes meet at various crossroads throughout the book, serving to reveal how the author has reached certain points in his life - mentally, physically and spiritually.
		Not unlike Anakin Skywalker's fateful turn to the dark side, Thompson's own conversions are always evident, even at their most subtle moments, and it's possible almost from page one for the reader to see the person that the little, wide-eyed child will eventually become.

	Blankets, de Craig Thompson
		Thompson no se circunscribe a un tono realista y dibuja sus visiones como si de un elemento natural se tratase a lo largo de todo su relato.
		Thompson ama tanto a sus personajes que, a veces, le falta distanciarse de ellos para conseguir un relato más contundente, más irónico, más mordaz.
		Thompson insiste a veces en exceso en reflexiones algo vacuas, tan personales como respetables, por supuesto, pero que ralentizan la narración, perdiendo en ocasiones el tono del relato.

		Als Craig Raina wieder verlassen muss (und er weiß, es ist vielleicht für immer), sehen wir den Wagen seiner Mutter, in dem er sitzt, für ein Bild lang direkt vom Parkplatz aus über eine Klippe fahren und in die Tiefe stürzen – erst im nächsten Bild sind die beiden wieder auf dem Weg nach Hause.

	Chase Sequence - Writing - Carnet de Voyage by Craig Thompson
		In the majority of the book, the weight of the narrative is carried by the words, not the pictures, which are in many instances unconnected to the text.
		Should Craig Thompson ever be tempted to draw a second Carnet, devoted solely to traveling alone in strange countries, it would be a welcome addition to my shelf.
		There seems to be a progression the “character” of Craig has gone through, despite that the book stops somewhat abruptly before his promotional tour has ended.

	Powell's Books - Blankets: An Illustrated Novel by Craig Thompson
		Thompson's layouts are intricate and organic; instead of the rigid six- or eight-panel pages of standard comics, he varies the shape, size, even the borders of his panels, frequently achieving a collage-like effect that would simply be impossible in any other medium.
		Thompson is slyly self-effacing as he bowls us over with his mix of skills.
		Craig Thompson was born in Traverse City, Michigan, in 1975 and raised outside a small town in central Wisconsin.

	Craig Thompson: Blankets (2003)
		Craig Thompsons große Kunst besteht aber gerade darin, dieser fiktiven Realzeit entgegenzuarbeiten.
		Das Manichäische verdankt sich dem Aufwachsen Craigs in einem zutiefst christlichen Elternhaus in der tiefsten amerikanischen Provinz - genau da, wo sie ans Phantasmagorische einer geradezu mittelalterlichen Vorstellungswelt stößt.
		In dieser Welt bewegt sich Craig, und die Comic-Bilder des Romans verorten ihn in aller grafischen Deutlichkeit darin.

		Nicht nur, was die Seitenzahl angeht, setzt Craig Thompson neue Maßstäbe.
		Craig ist ein menschenscheuer Außenseiter aus streng religiösem Elternhaus, der sich einerseits nicht in die Gesellschaft einfügen kann, sich andererseits an fundamental-christlichen Moralvorstellungen aufreibt.
		Indem Thompson mehrere Erzählstränge miteinander verwebt und dabei einen Zeitraum von mehr als zehn Jahren abdeckt, gelingt es ihm, seiner Geschichte Breite und Tiefe zu verleihen.

	CRAIG THOMPSON TALKS BLANKETS - NEWSARAMA
		To say that another work from Craig Thompson after his acclaimed Good-Bye Chunky Rice has been eagerly anticipated is an understatement.
		All told, the pieces fit together to produce the end result, essentially, allowing Thompson to explain to the world who he is, and how he got that way.
		Craig Thompson: The story in Blankets existed in my sketchbooks before Chunky Rice, just as something that was there — more of a vague notion, than anything else.

	Powell's Books - Carnet de Voyage by Craig Thompson
		While his illustrations are breathtaking and his cultural observations intriguing, what makes this book resonate so strongly is the personal aspect: Thompson's own feelings, from heartbreak to loneliness to ecstasy, invest each image with breathtaking intensity and honesty.
		Rather than a narrative follow-up to the award-winning Blankets, this diary reveals both Thompson's creative strengths and weaknesses.
		Thompson is honest enough to confront his own self-absorption (he makes constant references to his own whininess), but this recognition reveals that Blankets' navet is more studied than it first appears.

	The Rant: Blankets by Craig Thompson
		Barely a half a decade into his career, Thompson is already a fully fleshed writer and artist, a genius of the artform of cartooning.
		Craig Thompson’s new book, BLANKETS, published by Top Shelf Productions (bless ‘em) is a mammoth undertaking, a near-600 page graphic novel about first love (and its loss), faith (and its loss), growing up (and away) from both nature and nurture, finding oneself and figuring out one’s place in the universe.
		Thompson’s previous book, 1999’s GOODBYE, CHUNKY RICE dealt with similar subjects, but on a much smaller scale and in a more allegorical, cartoony style.

	Blankets - Craig Thompson
		Craig est marqué par un terrible sentiment de culpabilité qui empoisonne toutes ses actions.
		Thompson raconte son histoire avec une simplicité bienvenue, n’en rajoutant jamais dans le pathos.
		Thompson ose aussi les mises en page stylisées : les vignettes ondulent, les cadres disparaissent, la case devient la page, le blanc du papier est un décor neigeux, etc. Et tous ces jeux avec la planche qui auraient semblé maladroits ou datés chez un autre, fonctionnent ici à chaque fois.

		Logique quand on se souvient que Thompson avouait avoir trouvé confiance et inspiration dans la lecture d’auteurs de l’Association tels que Baudouin ou Trondheim notamment à l’heure de se lancer dans « Blankets ».
