i was wondering if anyone had the symbol that was on IT's door. you know, the one that looked different to each of the losers. a boat, a full moon, and a clenched fist are waht i remember. there was an illustration in the book, i recall, and i can't find it on the internet.



also, on a side not, does anyone have the insomnia one? the kamikaze one?

i don't recall ever seeing the illustration in the book. i just reread it and don't remember seeing any illustrations in the book at all. i know they described what it looked like to each person - but never what it really was.

it's not even on the dust jacket.

anybody got something else?

i'll try and see if my copy has it and scan it. i have the hardcover first ed (i'm pretty sure, at least) i was hoping that it would be online, but probably to no avail. update later

oh fuck, that's right. i totally went space-cadet. i even remember thinking that it looked like john when he was getting ready to beat me. thanks for posting it.


ETA: whoa. where the hell did that come from? i'm spending way too much time talking to people from a certain town up north of me i think.

does anyone know if the IT symbol has any outside meaning aside from the book? did sai king lift the symbol from someplace else? is it a character from a different alphabet? if so what's it's meaning? what is the dealio with the IT symbol?

for the record, i can find no outside meaning for this symbol, but i don't really know where to look. maybe i'll post this query on the sk message board and see if the mod has an answer.

mod sais on sks's message board that he made it up, so it's only meaning is from the book.

Cheers for the scan. I was looking through my copy for that just the other week but couldn't find it. Of course now that I've seen it here, as soon as I picked up the book again just now I found it in a matter of seconds :doh: (page 827)
