You buy the book 30$, the images are nice and all, but the whole thing is read in less time than it takes to finish the accompanying beer (that's my thing, don't spread it!). So one of my goals was to create a story that would require a certain implication from the reader and... maybe a couple of evenings to completely digest. Did it work? Well, suffice it to say it took ME two evenings to re-verify it before printing! Oh and by the way, I am Lead Game Designer at Sarbakan. Yes, you saw that one coming :-) Oh yeah, one last comment:

I really enjoyed reading the different mechanic you used to read and re-read the book. It is always a mystery to me how people approach certain experimental stories of mine. Your analysis of the book is very accute. The story is pure fun. No brain twister here (except for the form). In fact, it is an improvisation. I drew it all page by page without any scenario. I doesn't make for a very philosophical thesis, but I figured if I have fun drawing it (yes, I draw badly, but I draw fast, that's the only way I can complete a story. If not, I get bored with it) maybe the readers will have fun "reading" it. Well, anyway, I thought of other uses for this strytelling mechanic, unfortunately they would require very precise and intricate scenarii, which shall not get along with my legendary laziness. Anyway, I really enjoyed reading you and I shall return to read some more. Thank you Leif Tande Hi Derik,
