Scope and Contents This issue has a long interview with Steven Heller in the period prior to his becoming a writer on design. Synopsis: Comics aren't just for kids, and illustrations don't merely transpose text into image.

In the principal essay, "My Eye is a Mouth," the curator Felicitas Thun states that the work of Dieter Roth forms the core of his self conception and of his principle of art.
