Comic Riffs is a blog devoted to the comics fan. Come in, sit down and put your feet up as we celebrate, contemplate, eviscerate and pontificate on cartoons.
SINCE TUESDAY MORNING, when word began to spread that the long influential and always inimitable and sometimes deliciously irascible Maurice Sendak had died that day, at age 83, Comic Riffs has heard from numerous cartoonists and other illustrators and authors who said that they had been inspired by the man’s genius.
I join in their chorus.
Nodding to Sendak’s visual and verbal eloquence, I salute his towering talent and artistic humanity today the best way I know how: By co-opting an iconic illustration of his and adopting his very own words about loss and love.
Thank you for everything, Mr. Sendak.
