Jeff and All, Re Gahan Wilson. His cartoons are delightfully warped and deranged. One of my favorite cartoons was drawn by Gahan Wilson. I have it framed in my office. The cartoon features a peaceful seashore scene which pans the beach and ocean and some distant atolls. On the shore stands an artist's easle on which there is a painting of this serene seascape. On the beach about the easle and trailing off into the ocean are paints, brushes, and a broad-brimmed hat. The only difference between the picture on the easle and the seascape beyond is an extra atoll in the middle of the others. This atoll has a very large pair of eyes. Holly

Indeed I do (as should any readers of Playboy from the sixties who ever looked at anything more than the then-infamous forbidden flesh, this is of course from the pre-pudenda days). My favorite I believe was a Christmas howler, with a Madame Defarge character knitting a large pile of Christmas stockings at the foot of the guillotine. For those true afficionados, there is an animated Italian movie called Allegro Non Troppo, a sendup of Fantasia, directed by Bruno Bozetto, which contains what I believe is the only animated cartoon that Gahan ever made. The movie also contains some wondrous animation. Italian with English subtitles, unless you buy it in Italy, in which case it's of course English with Italian subtitles.
