My father was an avid reader of Dickens novels, and collected old editions of them. Phiz and George Cruikshank were my “pore over” guys as a kid, looking for the layered social commentary with the hilarious depictions of my favorite characters in mid-ridiculousness. Illustration and writing go together like…um…hand and pencil. Mutually reinforcing.
"This is what’s best about good illustration: it makes words more memorable, deepening their resonance." Yes, and you do this also. Happy Day t you, Judith. Keep 'em coming.
