A RETURN TO EMIL LAND
This issue came as a complete surprise as we didn’t commission it and had specifically (on purpose) told Emil “NO MORE TEMPLE BOOKS.”
Our administrative team and Mister Charles (our ace accountant) had made an issue that there were way too many temple books by Emil, in such a short period of time and that the current ones were not selling, at least, not in any volume.
I agreed with Charles and had my own concerns that Emil was on the verge of becoming a “one-trick-pony” artist (regardless of what Emil now claims, I did not and am not calling him a “Pony Boy” as that would be rude and insultive to “Pony Boys” in general) and from what Charles showed the administrative team from the sales charts, this was not a good thing for Emil nor WWWG.
Then this arrive (HANG ON HERE!) with correct postage and nothing dripping out of the package!
I was beyond shaken! “This is all wrong?!?”
My first instinct was that this was someone pretending to be Emil and was not aware of Emil’s unstable history in mail deliveries or else they would have sent postage due, too.
After a long inspection, we all concluded that, even though it was done in a most unusual style, we all dismissed that this was someone pretending to be Emil while agreeing “who would want to do that?”
On a hunch though, I did check the entire edition, given Emil’s recent spats with the Hong Kong Thought Police, to see if their was in Pro-China comments or anything that might indicate that this was a Chinese Fabrication...
I know!
Tin-foil hat time, Seine?
I know that I said no more “TEMPLE” books but, as I read through it; I was struck that this wasn’t in one in any traditional sense as the illustrations reflected a typical Emil mixture of “Turn-of-the-Century” Modern Art with almost a new age batik watercolour matte design that I thought was rather interesting and this is why I overruled the collect wisdom of my management team (seemingly, deeply offending Charles but, then I understand his beef against Emil plays a large part in his suggestions, too) and I am proud to offer all of you Emil Trekkers, here is this newest work that will hopefully amaze you too.
