...great friends were the deft caricaturist Sem, and Jean Giovanni Boldini, "The King of Swish," whose portraits of women seemed like the ravishing end toward which Helleu's casual etchings were moving...
...table with a broken-down laboratory assistant, a lavender college student, a mousy-genteel kleptomaniac widow, a moth-eaten elocutionist, a stale bibliophile who dismissed all ideas with "forgive my sense of humor"—a gallery which should convince almost everybody that Wells, like Dickens, is no caricaturist of English life but a dispenser of literal and horrifying truth. And there Teddy ran foul of two "overripe virgins," bleached Miss Blame and malapropist Miss Birkenhead, who once spent six months in Paris, calls her Paris sugar daddy her faux...
...world's deadliest political caricaturist, little-necked, New Zealand-born David Low of the London Evening Standard, this week published his first collection of World War II cartoons, Low on the War (Simon & Schuster, $2). Low, who has cartooned for 39 of his 50 years, declared war on the Axis long before the Allies did, now doubles as a London fire warden.* German Propaganda Minister Paul Joseph Goebbels, who mortally hates & fears Low's cartoons (note the clubfooted, degenerate dwarf at lower right), had a brief revenge last year: Low came down with German measles...

As his swan song, Architect Joseph Urban added an even more fabulous workroom-a round, soundproof, redwood-paneled tour de force resembling a swanky silo. There Katharine Brush settled down at a 15-foot semicircular desk to turn out more novels, short stories, scenarios...
