A Compelling Invitation
The day after I read this brilliant book, I read an article in the Dallas Morning News (Tuesday, September 30, 2003) in which sportswriter Gerry Fraley discusses the Minnesota Twins whose payroll is $110-million less than that of the Yankees. (The Twins won 90 games ...

Fantagraphics Books, 2008

The Resolution of a Long Sonorous Cadence...
Let's recap this heroic tale, shall we? Way back in the now rather crusty year of 1988, an obscure publisher called Eclipse grasped the reins of a Quixotic quest. They set out, sans astrolabe and almost no backwind, to publish all of George Herriman's illustrious ...

It seems eminently appropriate that a book which explains what Lean Six Sigma is (and isn't) should exemplify the same principles it addresses: It delights its reader with the speed by which its material is covered and with the quality of that material, it offers ...

Krazy Kat: Kompletely in Kolor!
Many comic strips rely a lot on variations on a theme. The classic example would be Peanuts. There were dozens of Peanuts strips that involved Charlie Brown trying (and failing) to kick a ball that Lucy was holding. Even though the idea was the same in each, the ...

Fantagraphics Books, 2002

NOTE FROM THE PUBLISHER
