William Steig

Many of my favorite illustrations come from William Steig.

For instance, here’s Steig’s illustration of his character Dr. DeSoto, a classy dentist who later risks his life to fix a toothache inside the jaws of a fox.

William Steig wrote Shrek. He wrote Sylvester and the Magic Pebble. He wrote Dominic and C D B. Children’s books, but like many good children’s books, possessing themes that transcend children’s literature.
