I always find enjoyment & education here. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteMay I ask, perhaps nit-pickingly: if "since 1993, the art editor has been responsible only for covers and the cartoon editor has been responsible only for cartoons" then who is responsible for the spot drawings, other illustrations, logos, layout and the other "art" stuff?
You're welcome, John. Spot drawings and internal illustrations are the responsibility of illustration editor Christine Curry.
