THREE CHEERS SKOOL for ronald searle who was a WIZZ at drawing.

Not those books with all the "humorous" misspellings! I hated those as a kid on Barbados!

But I liked Ronald Searle's drawings. And I had a "dictionary" by him in my collection of dictionaries.

Nothing but puns on words beginning with "man."

womanumission

serves as an example even if it weren't literally one of them.
