Today’s the 90th birthday of the one-and-only Arnold Roth. There’s a nice birthday tribute to him on The Daily Cartoonist.
From The Spill Vault: I had a great time chatting with Mr. Roth a few years ago for this Spill piece on his John Updike Bech book covers.
Here’s Mr. Roth’s entry on the Spill’s A-Z:
