Praise for Jane's World:
"Jane's World is wholesome without naiveté, upbeat without illusions, endearing, warm-hearted and addictive."
- Terry Moore, Strangers in Paradise
"I can see why this series is still going strong. It makes me giggle, it makes me gasp, it makes me shake my head sorrowfully in sympathy… it's a really good sitcom, only longer."
- Johanna Draper Carlson, ComicsWorthReading.com
"Jane's World is delightfully surreal, charmingly twisted, and funny as all get-out."
- Denise Sudell, Sequential Tart
"Intelligent, cutting edge, humorous yet poignant, hauntingly beautiful. But enough about me. Paige Braddock's comic, Jane's World is one of the smartest, best out there."
- Mike Luckovich, The Atlanta Constitution
"Jane is, you see, one of those people to whom things just happen. She combines mild-mannered amiability with indecision, a severe lack of style- and nutrition-savvy, and just plain wishy-washiness. It seems she's also (slightly) irresistible, much to her own bewilderment, since she seems to have only the vaguest of clues about the same sex (she happens to be a lesbian). In short, she's a magnet for the kind of drama that makes for good comedy."
- Sean Carroll, The Daily Cross Hatch
"Jane's World chronicles the sweetly complicated lives of Jane Wyatt -a donut-chomping, vegetable-disdaining lesbian who doesn't understand women - and her charmingly diverse circle of friends."
- Patricia Lynn Henley, The Bohemian
"It's too original to really make easy comparisons, but Jane's World is best described as a smart ensemble comedy, blending the classic comic strip style of Lynn Johnston with the racier writing style of shows like Sex and the City and Friends. Jane is the lesbian heir to the hard-luck Charlie Brown, somehow always winding up as the punch line in her own comic book."
- Randy Lander, the 4th Rail
