Sailor (illustrated by Ron Chan)

This man, who I have called Sailor, appears in “Three Septembers And A January.” Is he really a sailor? I have no idea, he just sort of looks like one.

What we know about the character is very little. He approaches The Chamberlain Of Emperor Norton in the park and asks him where to find a good opium den so he can “dream that special dream.” The Chamberlain pretends to not speak English and the sailor leaves in search of someone who can help him find opium.

He appears in Sandman # 31 on page 15 in panels 3 and 5.

Ron did a great job with this portrait. Once again he managed to capture the personality of this character perfectly!!!
