Here's another great comics value: over 200 pages of a life lived in comics, BFF – Brain Fag Forever – is a an enjoyable grab bag of personal comics that has fellow artists singing its praises: "Nate Beaty's straightforward comics are striking in their variety and they form a captivating document of his growing skill and evolving soul." – Ivan Brunetti; "Nate breaks down the structure of the comics page the way he takes apart an old bicycle or a vintage laptop His seething psyche roils to the surface, whether he's slapping his inks down over a carefully observed landscape or painstakingly delineating how another relationship went wrong." - Sarah Oleksyk; "Oh, all these cartoonists look interesting... Wait, what? There is only one?" – Lewis Trondheim
