The Menendez Hieroglyphics by Daniel Boris

ArlNow parodies (or parrots) Saul Steinberg's famed New Yorker cover

Here's information on the 1976 original Saul Steinberg New Yorker cover.

In a post about the 15th anniversary of the ArlNow newsite, they write, "P.S. If you'd like to get a framed print of the original illustration above, we've extended the ARLnow Shop for a couple of weeks so you can get it here. It was originally slated to be the cover for a special edition print magazine that has since been scrapped, so consider it a collector's item!"
