Van Faassen; Brentjens, p.235ff: "Zoals Zwart zich al in 1930 had voorgenomen, krijgt het boekje inderdaad twee hoofdrolspelers: De Post en J. Zelf. Ze personifiëren respectievelijk het staatsbedrijf en de jeugdige lezer. (...) Hij vervaardigt de personages van opgerolde briefkaarten, papier, textiel en blik. (...) Hij laat ze balanceren op een vrachtwagen of op het dak van een gebouw. Hij plaatst ze achter een postloket, op een wolkendek of laat ze wegzakken in een telefoonboek. (...) In het boek duiken zo nu en dan ook ongewoon zoetsappige tekeningen op die niet de hand van Zwart maar van zijn assistent Dick Elffers verraden."
