(27) *** The drawing in the first mentioned reflects Sendak's view of his appearance in this formerly staid magazine, depicting himself in Jack's clothing sticking out his tongue at Eustace Tilley, the masthead symbol of The New Yorker. Jack was the homeless child from Sendak's book We are all in the dumps with Jack and Guy. This issue of the magazine also includes a double-page colour comic strip by Sendak and Art Spiegelman showing the artists in the woods around Sendak's home discussing the awfulness of childhood.
