Note: With this post, I hope to make
Attempted Bloggery the world's leading authority on bedsheets designed by
New Yorker cartoonists. I find you can be very successful in the blogosphere if you don't set your sights too high.
Meanwhile,
George Booth will turn 90 this coming Tuesday. There's still time to relive the joy of this blog's collected posts about the art of
George Booth.
While you're at it, don't miss
Michael Maslin's Ink Spill posts about George Booth which now include a splendid photo of the artist's 90th birthday cake. All may be found
here.
Chris Wheeler's Cartoon(ist) Galleries is a fine resource on
George Booth. Just don't expect to find anything there about bedsheets.
Finally, if you'd like to know more about this great cartoonist, you don't want to miss
Jane Mattimoe's recent interview with the man himself at
A Case for Pencils.
