What People are Saying about Fud4thot
“Fud4thot forces us to see each situation from an entirely new perspective, like a twist of the mind.  And interestingly, this is exactly how we heal when we are in a mental health crisis: we gain a more creative viewpoint that carries us over the rough parts with a creative solution we'd not realized was possible before.  Right-brained humor of this sort is a boon to the healing process.”
--Jacquelyn Small, Author in the field of human consciousness and Founding Director of Eupsychia
“....nonconformist, consistent in its slaughtering of cultural sacred cows, and always funny. Fud4thot often pulls your brain up by the roots. Maxxx’s work may make my brain hurt, but what joyful torture!”
--Barbara A. Swanson, Colorado Springs, CO
“I'm a crossword puzzle fanatic and I found Fud4thot to be a brilliant creation. I wish I could find it in the New York Times.”
--Margo Skinner, Actress, New York, NY
“Fud4thot is the perfect combination of crossword puzzle, rebus and word play. As an incurable wordsmith I find Fud4thot is a tasty bite and fills me up.”
--Dennis O’Connell, Actor, Minneapolis, MN
Maxxx Madcap has a feel for humor like a composer has a feel for music. [Fud4thot] makes one look at language in different and funny ways. Fud4thot is the first thing I look for every week in my weekly paper. Fud4thot always makes me laugh aloud.”
--Nancy Overcott, Author of At Home in the Big Woods

“ Fud4thot has been a regular weekly feature for our readers of the Fillmore County Journal since 1996. Fud4thot combines zany art and graphics with word puzzle challenges. Like Gary Larson’s Far Side cartoon, Maxxx often takes a wholly unique view of the world, one that tickles the funny bone while stimulating the gray matter. Fud4thot has a very devoted following in our newspaper.
--John Torgrimson, Publisher, Fillmore County Journal, Preston, MN

"When I saw Fud4thot's booth at a newspaper convention, I figured I'd spend a polite two minutes there, just to be nice to a fellow puzzlemaker. I wound up spending 20 minutes at that booth, neglecting my own customers, solving every damn sample Fud4thot Maxxx Madcap had out on the table, laughing out loud, and demanding that if he didn't start pitching this to magazines, I would do it myself. Fud4thot is that absorbing."
--Matt Gaffney, crossword maker, Billboard Magazine and Slate Magazine
“ Fud4thot is an original mind exercise that is not only entertaining but often enlightening. Maxxx’s cartoon will reduce flab from your mind and tickle your ribs.”
--Neil Haugerud, Bestselling author of Jailhouse Stories
“A tangential approach to everyday life with a 90 degree humorous twist on the side.”
--Robert Fitton, Director of Biology Laboratories, Luther College
