IS THIS THE BEGINNING OF ANOTHER NICE STORY?
In March 2009 a blog appeared on The New Yorker website,
commenting on the coming release of Spike Jonze’ feature-length movie of the Maurice Sendak classic children’s book,
WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE.
Those who know something of my work will know that I made an animated adaptation of Where The Wild Things Are in the early 1970s, and that it remains a top seller for me in the catalog of Weston Woods/Scholastic.
Among the throngs that DON’T know that I made that film are apparently the editors of The New Yorker. Though I’ve been a faithful subscriber to the magazine since my early adulthood, the editors have understandably avoided knowing anything about me - as the article below plainly attests.
As there was a chance to comment on the article, I assured them that I was indeed alive and well and living in Prague.
A caption on the comment panel clearly advised me that they cannot possibly answer a comment personally…. Of course… Yet only two-days later, I received a delighted note from the author, New Yorker writer, Richard Brody, who indeed seems to have recognized my existence, and who wanted information needed to either go further or to decide that the original New Yorker policy of totally ignoring me was completely justified.
Who knows? But stay tuned, and for goodness sake don’t cancel your Subscription yet to The New Yorker! The item copied below started it all:

SOME FRESH DEITCH PITH:
MEN!!! It’s considered a bad sign if your forget to zip up your fly, but I consider it an even worse sign if you forget to un-zip it!
(From the Gene Deitch vast lore of perpetual wisdom)
I CONSIDER MYSELF TO BE A LOYAL EARTHLING, YET I FEEL NO KINSHIP TO OUR EXOSKELETAL INHABITANTS. CALL IT SPECIESISM, BUT CRABS GIVE ME THE CREEPS, AND BUGS BUG ME. ANY DECENT CREATURE SHOULD HAVE ITS BONES ON THE INSIDE, JUST LIKE US NORMAL FOLKS.
