Gahan Wilson's Very Good Monster

Illustrator Stephen Kroninger has submitted scans of two original drawings by Gahan Wilson. The first was donated by the artist to the P.S. 41 charity school auction some years ago:

I will be a very good monster...

Peter Arno: The Market for Ball Players

You may have noticed that the 2014 baseball season has begun. Way back in 1947, Peter Arno explained the market for baseball players with this clever New Yorker cartoon.

Peter Arno, "Sometimes we sell them, lady, but only to other teams."
The New Yorker, September 6, 1947, p. 31
