I still can't get over the sad hibernation of Collected Black Panels. Tumblr is no good for it and i don't want to do it here. I guess I'll be waiting for another solution to come some day. That doesn't mean I can't post selections of Black Panels found in different books. Case in point - this post.
The story goes - i was going through my ebooks lately, doing some clean-up, writing down the notes and reorganizing the folder. One of the books at the very bottom was William Burroughs and Robert Gales' "Book of Breeething".
The book's content is an essay about language, the way Egyptian hieroglyphics interpret it, how it affects the perception of the concepts represented by the words, how it shapes the comprehension of being. There are also some fun things about language causing altered states of mind and creative being in general. The text is accompanied by Robert Gales illustrations that don't do much to expand the narrative but spice up the background just fine.
The most interesting visual in the book are buffer pages that are mere slabs of black sliced by a white-ish stripe in a second lower third of the page. In the context of the book these blackouts serve as a mind wiper before the next section. It works in the same manner as when you are smelling the perfumes and in-between you have to smell that coffee thing so that the smells of the perfumes would not mix up.
