 * "The Strange World of Snappy Sammy Smoot: An Interview with Skip Williamson" by Grass Green, The Comics Journal, no 104, January 1986.
 * In Mass Culture Revisited by Bernard Rosenberg, David Manning White writes, "But what is even more interesting about Snappy Sammy Smoot is that it manages to be politically radical at the same time it is satirical and funny" and that it is "one of more highly stylized in the field".
