We were re-reading Tomi Ungerer’s The Three Robbers (1963) the other day. I never get tired of the story’s sinister fairytale feel; the color palette of black and midnight blue; or Ungerer’s use of the word “blunderbuss.”
But I realized something new this time around. Those voluminous cloaks and bell-shaped hats are very Yohji Yamamoto.

Striking similarity! You should check out the new documentary on Tomi called Far Out Isn’t Far Enough: The Tomi Ungerer Story. http://www.faroutthemovie.com
We have one of Maurice Sendak’s last interviews before his passing and we also interviewed Jules Feiffer and others!
