By Bruno Savill De Jong — Coming across a “manned kite to the moon”, the runners of Eight-Lane Runaways ask if he could scout for the train-lines where they will rendezvous with the rest of their group. From his overhead view, we can see the geometric clusters of tennis courts, people log-vaulting to make firewood for the orphanage, and the curving pathway that runs through these dense environments. Such aerial views are common in Eight-Lane Runaways, overlooking the unique blueprints of the delightfully absurd world which unfolds through Henry McCausland’s fantastic graphic novel. The flowing running-track hosts eight runners, who in their travels encounter an arm-repair workshop, and algebra dog, a juice factory (which features an ultimate juice-drink that includes “every fruit ever discovered”, including the poisonous ones), and a bush which looks just like their friend Tomás.
