This Week’s Cover
- Judging from Silas Artritic’s facial convulsion, he is trying to locate a mountain that looks like the one Miss Brushley has painted. Or maybe he is grieving because Miss B. has reduced a cow so that it resembles a kangaroo. Or possibly he has gone modernist on the poor man and painted his grass red. As for Miss B., having stepped back to see the thing as a whole, she looks pretty befuddled too. To round out the confusion, George Hughes says he doesn’t know whether he has done a good job or not because he can’t see her painting any more than you can. Our own feeling about the situation is that the best scenery for Miss B. to paint is a self-portrait, and that Mr. A. better go to work before he breaks his neck.
