Episode 6 - Saul Steinberg: Milking the GOAT, with Austin English
Saul Steinberg? Sure, he's the GOAT. But does Steinberg really mean anything to us in 2025? Even those of us who love him may find it hard to articulate what exactly he was up to.
Today, the Miami Review of Comics is joined by cartoonist, publisher, distributor & polemicist(!) Austin English to help unpack Steinberg's legacy.
Our jumping-off point is Austin's forthcoming essay on All in Line, a New York Review reprint of Steinberg's debut book of drawings. From there we get into Steinberg's evolution from a clever illustrator to a world class artist, putting his work in conversation with gag cartoonists like Peter Arno and Gahan Wilson and painters like Philip Guston and the Chicago Imagists. George Herriman, too, joins the party.
Had a ton of fun talking to Austin and learned a lot. Will link to his essay once it appears on TCJ.com!
Thanks as always to the show's wonderful producer Jason Butler.
