This cartoon depicts the life we have been experiencing in Eastern Ontario this week. Lots of snow and reasons to stay inside, only one of which is eating ice cream. This 1988 NYer cover is by Ronald Searle. For me it has it all: charm, colour, design and wit. I hope you will read this Guardian obituary because it is full of fascinating details of Searle’s life and gives an insight into the sustaining power of sketching, even in some of the worst of life’s situations.
I am in total agreement red weather and Searle. We’ve had an easier winter this year.
