Well—there I was—digging through
the pile of artwork for a piece to scan into this PR. (Yes, artists. Your
carefully drawn work gets its very own pile in my bedroom office. Completely
separate from the pile of bills that Must Get Paid and piles of miscellanea.)
And then I uncovered The Envelope. Other fannish editors know about The
Envelope—a large envelope filled with dozens of gems from William
Rotsler—most of them original drawings.
I got my envelope last year with a short note: "Please take what you want and pass the rest on." It was overwhelming. I had never met Bill Rotsler. Oh, I knew who he was—I've seem his drawing for years and read "Rotsler's Rules." I really did mean to write a thank you note and start using them. But then Bill died.
So I never met William Rotsler or thanked him. Enjoy the few examples of his work that I've managed to slip into this PR and remember to thank someone before it is too late.
