From the front page of "The Independent" newspaper (UK) 22nd Feb 2005:

(Written by Ralph Steadman)
"On Sunday morning, I had just finished signing the 1,200 title pages for a limited-edition Taschen version of the "Curse of Lono", which Hunter had signed so uncharacteristically - obedient & mechanical - over the month of December. I thought that was very strange. He has to be cajoled like a child to do anything like that, so I drew his portrait across the last sheet, glaring out, his two eyes in the two O's of LONO, put the cigarette holder with long Dunhill prodding upwards in his grimacing mouth, signed it with an extra flourish and closed the last of the four boxes. The old bastard! He waited to make sure I'd finished the task. Then he signed himself off."
