Michael Biddle's humorous and highly personal conception of two particularly grotesque individuals, titled simply Cartoon, contrasts strongly with another very direct statment, Tom William's Big City Vignette, or with David Austin's sketch of more glamorous terrain, the Grand Canal of Venice...
...chief the week before, to surrender himself. Phao heard the order at home, went first to a nearby Chinese bar for two quick bracers, then to Sarit's headquarters.
