Everyone welcomes the spring, right? Ronald Searle's The Interloper suggests that some of us would rather not have to deal with it, or indeed with nature. The extraordinary original artwork for the cover of Graphis 169 was sold on eBay around 2009 for $4000, and subsequently by a private dealer. Long ago Searle's agent John Locke told me that The New Yorker had rejected this as a cover.

Note: Happy spring, at least according to the calendar! Attempted Bloggery is always looking for submissions of published and unpublished original book and magazine illustrations by Ronald Searle, a man for all seasons.
