![]() ![]() Francoise Mouly, managed to get the man to do a TOON Book ( Luke on the Loose) as well. As I recall, a bit of a kerfuffle happened when it was published back in the day.Īuthor and illustrator of many many picture books, it’s little wonder that the Art Editor of The New Yorker, Ms. Banyai is well known in a different way for New Yorker covers, including this controversial one. I had a patron the other day ask if we had anything else that was similar but aside from Barbara Lehman all I could think of was Wiesner’s Flotsam. Zoom and Re-Zoom continue to circulate heavily in my library, all thanks to Banyai. Here then is a quickie encapsulation of some of the folks I discovered in the course of my cover removal. Sure, I knew that the overlap between illustrators of children’s books and illustrators of New Yorkers was frequent. For now, it’s just fun to flip through the covers themselves and, in flipping, I discovered something. I once had the desire to wallpaper my bathroom in such covers, but that dream will have to wait (as much as I love New York apartments and all. In the meantime, we now are the proud owners of only three boxes worth of New Yorker covers. ![]()
