Two more people have taken on the Page 100 Project…
The hugely talented Matthew Daley draws Nick Cave’s And the Ass Saw the Angel.
And And Chilean artist Hugo Robles did this adaptation of Argentinean writer Adolfo Bioy Casares: “The Invention of Morel“
So ages ago, Dave Howard suggested to me that it might be an interesting idea for cartoonists to try adapting a part of a novel they liked. And then recently when JD Sallinger died, that notion came back to me, and then I thought oh it might be interesting to attempt to do a comic of some portion of one of his books. As I sat on the couch staring at the shelves of books, I thought it might be fun to try it with different books. Maybe just a page. Maybe the SAME PAGE from each book. Say, page 100. And thus…
THE PAGE 100 PROJECT
Feel welcome to join in. It’s easy: Just pick a book, turn to page 100, and adapt it as a comic. Let me know if you do one: jasonturner@jasonturnerproject.com

Hey exciting stuff! The extremely talented Rebecca Dart took on the Page 100 Project! Check out her rendition of page one hundred of “The Hawkline Monster” by Richard Brautigan.
Hey neat, someone else attempted a Page 100: The Moon is a Harsh Mistress from Jason Rainey. I will have to keep a list of these things somewhere. I actually started working on another one the other day.
I did another Page 100 Project page, from Nicholson Baker’s “The Fermata” You can see it over here until I get a proper venue set up for these.
I burned a cd of a music mix I had been fiddling with the past couple of weeks this morning. I’m pretty happy with it, nice and peppy. I called it “Gimme Springtime” completely forgetting that today is the equinox! So it was a most appropriate day to drop it. Happy spring everyone!
Oh also, I did a first run at the Page 100 Project, which you can read over here for now.
Also, I took a fairly flawed panorama of the view from the school, across the road from my house.
