Hey, just out is
the new biography of legendary New Yorker cartoonist Peter Arno by current New
Yorker cartoonist Michael Maslin.
A copy just
arrived on my doorstep. The cover is rather dire, but I’m hopeful Arno’s story
is well told.
Inside are
some samples of the man’s great, elegant work. One of my favorites is of a
couple in bed, the man clearly snoring and the woman yelling angrily, “Wake up,
you mutt! We’re getting married today.” Ha!
Meanwhile, in
chapter 374 of “Slipped,” the Scarlet Sparrow’s dilemma is even more dire.
Though Pip the dog prevents Delacroix from reentering the fray, Cartier Tour
appears to be long gone, and Tyler’s sister, Mendacity, is who knows where,
fighting her own battles.
And Tyler? The
Chancellor now reveals that his half-mad, giant soldier rats intend to devour
as much of the population of Europe as they can.
And he tightens,
tightens, tightens his grip on Tyler herself.
