Reviewing issue 15 of Thingumybob, Andy Hooper writes in Apparatchik #74 of February 1997, "We haven't seen anything from Sildan House for a while, so I'm glad to get this new issue of T-Bob. Chuck has always fancied himself a fringe-fan, with interests that only obliquely intersect with fandom, and this issue serves to underline that attitude more than ever."
