I keep it next to my copy of “Why Cats Paint” (Busch and Silver) and “U & Non-U Revisited” (Richard Buckle. ed). Thanks for displaying it in this large format right on my computer screen here in Boston and for your regular emails.

GA, I enjoyed George Cruikshank’s Comic Alphabet. So many channel his illustrations in Dickens’ Christmas Carol like G “Going,” H “Holidays,” and N “Nightmare.” What a genius!
