That spectacle would have made a King Kong-size story for New York, the small but influential weekly that celebrates the life-styles of the city's rich, its powerful and its houseplant owners. (Felker's editors indeed commissioned Cartoonist David Levine to draw a stinging cover portrait of Murdoch as one of those South American killer bees beloved of Murdoch-style tabloids; Felker thought better of it eventually.)

After 17 years of drawing that freckle-faced urchin Dennis the Menace from a penthouse in Geneva, Cartoonist Hank Ketcham is going home to California. The cost of living on the Continent became too steep for Ketcham, 56, who first sketched the kid with the cowlick in 1951.

At 13 he devised a novel gramophone windup mechanism-just as gramophones succumbed to electricity. Undeterred, he became a stellar and sometimes lunar cartoonist. During World War II, some equally dotty boffin at the Air Ministry decided from Emett's complicated cartoons that the artist-a man as mild as Lewis Carroll's Dormouse-should be commandeered to help build nongentle-manly aircraft for the R.A.F...
