Hoochie Mama: The Other White Meat, 2001


"How do you solve a problem like Tomato? Keep on reading. And hope
Erika Lopez keeps on writing ... If you have to ask why Erika Lopez is
not only funny, but essential to America's sanity, you wouldn't
understand."

--Kristin Tillotson, Minneapolis Star Tribune

"It's often the way with trilogies that the final part's there just to
tie up the loose ends, but with Lopez, never expect the
expected....Tomato sets off on a crusade to rid the world of Latte ...
and meets up with a kaleidoscope of gutsy characters ... each
unforgettably real in the psychedelic drug trip world weaved by Lopez’s
narrative. ‘Hoochie Mama’ contains the same razor-sharp
stream-of-consciousness street sass and Terry Gilliam-esque cartoons as
her previous books. Love her or loathe her, Lopez is one of the most
original writers around."

--Bryony Weaver, RainbowNetwork.com

"Funny, nutty, and socially sarcastic..."

--David Steinberg, Albuquerque Journal

----------------

"Lopez’s trademark witty, sarcastic tone has free reign here as she
returns again and again to Tomato’s beloved San Francisco, the city she
now loves to hate but still wants to save. Hoochie Mama is an
over-the-top heroine who jokes her way into making friends and doesn’t
bother to charm her audience. She’s tough, bossy, and bitchy, and god
help anyone who gets in her way."

---Rachel Kramer Bussel, Lambda Book Report

----------------

"Rough, raw and rugged, author/artist Erika Lopez takes graphic novels
to a new level with innovative artwork, biting humor and edgy prose."

--Jennifer Hunt, Honey Magazine
