That madness comes to a head when, after the tension and estrangement has reached its peak, after Claire has pursued a whole set of fantasies, the poles reverse and the couple come together in a sudden, two-day orgy. They tear the paper off the walls of their flat, scrawl and paint surrealistic shapes underneath, and finally slump back into exhaustion and defeat. Then they separate for good...
...sell their originals with relative ease. David Levine, whose caricatures of political and cultural figures helped propel The New York Review of Books into its ascendancy, is probably the best known figure. New York Times theater cartoonist Al Hirschfield, who specializes in seeing how many times he can scrawl his daughter's name into the details of his illustrations-- he indicated the number beside his signature--is currently having a very popular New York show...
...fuzzy continuity of a fever dream-rather like the early Marx Brothers movies, or the last films of W.C. Fields. It also had a fine eye for the human cartoon.

The sudden and brief appearance at that time of what seemed to be a new and brightly glowing star-probably as luminous as a quarter moon and visible even during full daylight-may have sufficiently moved a primitive sky-gazer to scrawl or carve his impressions on a cave wall. And if an archaeologist should ever find such a drawing, its age could be determined by using radioactive "clocks" and other dating methods on other objects at the site. Once that was done, scientists would know more precisely the time...
