Ralph Steadman exhibit at the American University Museum in photos

 Ralph Steadman: And Another Thing

September 7 – December 8, 2024

Ralph Steadman, Artist

Andrea Lee Harris, Exhibition Coordinator

  I may try to write a review of this for the International Journal of Comic Art, but in the meantime, I will say my buddy, photographer Bruce Guthrie, was absolutely correct. This is a must-see exhibit, even if you saw the earlier exhibit they did of his work. There's a catalog for this exhibit - $50 in pb and $75 in hc. The other shows on exhibit are worth looking at as well. I especially liked Faces of the Republican Party by Jeff Gates and A Sight to Behold: The Corcoran Legacy Collection of Nineteenth and Early Twentieth-Century American Landscape Paintings.

That darn Rhymes with Orange



May we recommend 'D'Aulaires' Book of Greek Myths'? [Rhymes with Orange letter]

Harise Poland-Wright, Silver Spring

After reading, with incredulity, George H. Spencer's Free for All letter bemoaning the obscurity of the term "Sisyphean," I turned to the comics. The "Rhymes With Orange" was a sight gag using Sisyphus as a punchline! (A child in a ball pit was pushing a ball up a slide, with Mom on the sidelines asking, "Having fun, Sisyphus?") Not so obscure after all!

'Transformers One' Filmmaker Josh Cooley Is Still Playing with Toys and Loving It

After winning an Oscar for 'Toy Story 4,' the filmmaker took a gamble by leaving longtime home Pixar to helm a Transformers origin story. Within days, the pandemic hit, causing him to wonder, "Did I just make the worst decision of all time?"
