Beyond Shrek!: The Cartoons, Kid Books, and Crazy Career of William Steig In-Person
Presented by Bill DeGenaro, Berkley resident and Professor of Language, Culture, and the Arts at U of M-Dearborn
If you only know William Steig as the author of Shrek!, you're only scratching the surface. Steig was a New Yorker illustrator for seventy years who helped cement the magazine's reputation for side-splitting cartoons and only started writing children's books four decades into his career. Professor D. discusses Steig's unique humor and playful approach to language. Fans of comics and children's literature of all ages are welcome. So is anybody who has ever tried their hand at captioning New Yorker cartoons!
