Whose presence of mind was amazing;
He purchased a steed, and rode away at full speed,
Escaping the people of Basing.
SAILING ALONE FINDS A PUBLISHER
There is no exact publication date yet, but Fantagraphics Press, of Seattle, has agreed to publish Buller's adaptation, in cartoon form, of SAILING ALONE AROUND THE WORLD, by Joshua Slocum. Buller has prepared a small sampler booklet containing a few dozen pages from the book. These are not all consecutive pages, so there may be a few sudden jump cuts. But it will give some idea of the flavor of the entire book, much like a trailer for a movie. You can click through the sampler here.
FREE LOUISE LAWLER TRACINGS
Our friend Louise Lawler is a conceptual artist and photographer whose work often shows the work of other artists in a revelatory way. Jon Buller played a small part in her career, because a few years ago she had the idea of having some of her photographs traced and turned into line drawings, and Buller got the job of doing these tracings. Just recently MoMA has released a PDF of a dozen of these tracings thatcan be downloaded and printed for coloring. This article includes the download link . . .

She said that she had been doing some research for one of her classes on our books, and was having trouble finding biographical information about Susan. Here is Susan's answer to that email.
