WaPo's Sebastian Smee reviews AU's Ralph Steadman exhibit

 I was up at this exhibit again yesterday, and have my review partially written. Fortunately I can assume a deeper level of knowledge than the WaPo critic should, so we don't overlap much.

Art’s gonzo prophet is still showing America what it looks like [in print as Steadman's gonzo view of America now looks prescient]

Ralph Steadman, longtime illustrator of the corrupt, debauched and morbidly fascinating, is the subject of an enlivening survey at American University Museum.

Review by

LoC's Sara Duke writing piece in Spider-Man: Panel by Panel book

Check out A NEW LOOK AT THE EARLY DAYS OF SPIDER-MAN In 'Spider-Man: Panel by Panel' and now you know as much as I do.

That darn Ann Telnaes (and Edith Pritchett)




(Ann Telnaes/The Washington Post)

The imperial march

Washington Post November 9 2024: A13.

Kudos to the immensely talented Ann Telnaes. Not only are her cartoons exquisitely drawn, but her commentary is always on point, too. Her Oct. 24 cartoon, "Elon Musk, Mr. Trump's fellow con man," summed up so much of what is wrong with our election process. Her Oct. 9 cartoon on the Supreme Court's new term was amazing.

Please keep Telnaes front and center.

Debra McDonald, Washington

Please make Ann Telnaes the daily editorial cartoonist for The Post. Her work is timely, pithy, amusing and reflective of the traditional slant of the newspaper (unlike Michael Ramirez's work). She is the heir apparent to Herblock and Tom Toles. You can put all the others in The Drawing Board on Saturday, where they used to be. Edith Pritchett's work, which now takes up that space, seems better suited to the Style section than the Opinion pages.

Miriam R. Miller, Arlington

I have to let you know how very upset I am with the political cartoons. I've already registered my complaints about Edith Pritchett. Michael Ramirez is snarky! And Lisa Benson's Oct. 30 cartoon was insulting. Demeaning. A frightened Democrat clutches their teddy bear as a psychiatrist asks, "These Nazis and fascists ... are they in the room with us now?" As a lifelong student of World War II, I was deeply offended by this depiction. Wasn't it former Trump appointees John F. Kelly and Mark A. Milley who said Trump is a fascist? Their opinion is nonsense? Ann Telnaes is spot-on and as close to Tom Toles or Herblock as you could find. Why can't she be your daily political cartoonist? Show a sampling from other cartoons (even Ramirez) on the weekend. I haven't canceled my subscription, as my friends and relatives have, but trust me, I feel it coming.

Karen Anthony, Burke




(Edith Pritchett/The Washington Post)

I had to smile when I saw Edith Pritchett's Oct. 21 cartoon, "The false memories of 'the father of IVF.'" She included Rosalind Franklin along with James Watson and Francis Crick in the discovery of DNA's structure. Way to go, girl!

Carol D'Arezzo, Haymarket

Evan Keeling's Punk Rock exhibit at Lost Origins gallery

The exhibit of Evan's long-gestating project on the history of punk rock in DC is closing tomorrow. It's in Lost Origins gallery, which will also be publishing his books in the future. Evan was onsite yesterday for an interview, which I missed, and will be there tomorrow demonstrating creating minicomics, I believe. Evan is one of the founders of the DC Conspiracy, and a long time practitioner of educational comics here in town via the Smithsonian. If you don't make it by tomorrow, here's a record of the show in photographs.

John Leguizamo in DC at Arena Stage


He's written a graphic novel - Ghetto Klown - and Bruce Guthrie says they're for sale at the theater and he will sign them after the show.  Apparently he's a really nice and friendly guy. Here's details about the theater and showtimes.

Here's a couple of articles about his play.

John Leguizamo set out to write a great American play about a Latino family

John Leguizamo Talked Diversity at the Emmys. He Has Ideas for Theater Too.

The actor discusses his new play, "The Other Americans," feeling underappreciated as a dramatist, and Latino representation.

https://www.nytimes.com/2024/11/02/theater/john-leguizamo-the-other-americans.html
