ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

I want to thank numerous people for their invaluable and generous help in putting this book together.

First of all, John Holderried, who faithfully transcribed my gibberish scribblings into copy that actually makes sense.

Sara Ho, who helped shape the book into the graphically interesting form you now have in your hands.

Everyone in my studio: Lindsay Woods, Desirée Stavracos, and Sandrine Flament. Also, everyone at Focal Press. Thank you for your immense help.

My book agent, Jim Fitzgerald. Also, the contributing artists: Don Hertzfeldt, Peter Lord, Pat Smith, Marv Newland, Greg Ford, Signe Baumane, Cordell Barker, Winsor McCay, Pink Martini, Nicole Renaud, Alex Tiedtke, and Martha Plimpton.
