What do you do when your publisher prints your book in a way that totally ruins a specific artistic effect you intended? If you're the author of
Vilebrequin you try to get the book pulled and reprinted, and when that doesn't work,
you go public.
I once saw an artist at a con whose book was printed missing sixteen pages and even through the printer was going to make good on a reprinting the cartoonist sat there with a look on his face that indicated that tears or murderous rage could roar onto his face at any moment. I can't imagine the level of distress a cartoonist must feel when this happens and then the publisher refuses the make-good.
