[ Petty Theft ] manages to convey both the lightness and loneliness of a recent breakup. . . Drawn with simple, expressive linework, the story's trials and travails are full of humor, but the moments of Pascal alone in a room crowded with books and old possessions bring a sincere levity to the tale." - Bitch Magazine

"If you're in the mood for a sparkling entertainment of a comic to read in the sun on a summer afternoon, you won't find another book as cheerful, or as beautifully told, as Petty Theft ." - The Stranger

"[In] Petty Theft, Pascal Girard offers up a dry, humorous, and neurotic look at his own dating life . . . Much of the humor comes out in Pascal's actions, which range from slapstick to irony, and while he and the woman of his dreams may not be made for each other, they make a good graphic novel team." - AV Club

"A master slapstick artist with a keen sense of comic timing and a knack for pinpointing the exact moment when human interaction takes a turn for the absurd, Girard is especially skillful at extracting humour from precisely rendered body language." - Montreal Review of Books
