Feared time would run out (I'm in my 80s). Of course, it still will, but at least whoever gets my computer will find "Yes/BUT" among 'favorites'. I adore Steinberg. Many many thanks.

Once, having a rare day off, I accompanied an Irish girl to her hotel in the country. We walked most of the afternoon through the countryside to get there. When I entered the hotel, I was struck by the sight of several original Saul Steinberg drawings hanging along the staircase. It was a wonderful suprise to cap off a wonderful afternoon. Not much of a story, but I so rarely get to share it with anyone who can appreciate it.benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17723993239042048933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12189014.post-1145107140088225652006-04-15T09:19:00.000-04:002006-04-15T09:19:00.000-04:00I love Herriman's work, too-- he is the lyric poet...I love Herriman's work, too-- he is the lyric poet of the comic strip world. I love the fact that his work is so highly personal and eccentric. I love his surrealistic streak. And of course, his drawing was superb. I just view him differently than Steinberg. He is more intuitive, less cerebral. If Herriman was a nightingale, Steinberg was an owl. Whether one surpassed the other depends on whether you prefer nightingales or owls. <BR/><BR/>As a matter of pure math, I think you are wrong about "productivity" but I don't think that is key to the greatness of either artist.David Apatoffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11293486149879229016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12189014.post-1145073136494384702006-04-14T23:52:00.000-04:002006-04-14T23:52:00.000-04:00I would argue that George Herriman far surpassed S...I would argue that George Herriman far surpassed Steinberg in wit, inventiveness, conceptual density, and sheer productivity.
