Praise For Work-Life Balance: Malevolent Managers and Folkloric Freelancers:-
· “Think you’re stuck working with monsters in your office? Rée & Chee’s Work-Life Balance takes a whole new look at the possibility, using an interesting text/comics balance rarely seen.” – PAUL LEVITZ, DC Comics President & Publisher (2002 – 2009)
· “I read Work-Life Balance in one single sitting, then I went back and read all my favourite bits again! This is a tongue-in-cheek paean to the supernatural world of Asia and beyond, lovingly recreated in Benjamin Chee’s breathtakingly intricate set pieces and character designs. The story is full of fun, fast-paced action; taking a breath now and then to ponder upon all the things we (not just momoks) have to sacrifice in pursuit of making a living.” – MEIHAN BOEY, author of The Formidable Miss Cassidy (Epigram Books Fiction Prize Co-Winner 2021)
