 Here we go again. Last issue’s lead illustration
("Dumbo Jet: Air Force One") irritated a few Republicans. "How on earth do you come up with such unpatriotic images?" Meet our fine artist, Frank Ansley, who with this issue has the dubious distinction of having illustrated Twisted Titles for six years. Frank has been an illustrator for 33 years, most of that time in San Francisco; he now lives in St. Helena, where he primarily illustrates children's books, as well as doing this page for grown-up children. "I go through the batch you send up," he explains, "and doodle or make a scribble next to each title that strikes me. Some go over my head; some are more verbal than visual." He says there is no truth to the rumor that one of the Monthly editors slips him an extra twenty for each anti-Bush drawing. "Don't readers remember when we used to savage Clinton?" he asks. However weak your memory or savage your intentions, send those twisted titles--of a book, movie, play, or whatever--substituting one letter only and adding a snappy underline, to Twisted Titles, California Monthly, Alumni House, Berkeley 94720, or calmonthly@alumni.berkeley.edu.
The title Title comes from the well-heeled Wendell Simons '49. |
