The Oregonian Profiles Anne Cleveland

There's a nice coda to the recent passing of mid-20th Century cartoonist and illustrator Anne Cleveland at The Oregonian, where writer Margie Boule talks to daughter Susan Whitcher in order to fill in some of the biographical blanks in the public record. In addition to the compelling psychological profile aspects of the piece, we learn, for example, what her involvement with the New Yorker may have been: informally providing cover ideas, at least according to family members. Cleveland died on March 1 at age 92.
