It was a commisssion I got by accident. I had a small studio space in London, when I worked for Kemsley Newspapers. The office belonged to Alex Harrison, a literary agent. One of his authors was Richard Carrington, a TV producer. he asked me if I could have a shot at illuminating his breathless prose. I managed to get some humour into it, but as can be seen, I was still an amateur, and a student of London College of Printing & Graphic Arts. I can’t remember what I was paid for the job – maybe £5 or £10. I was happy just to try. This is by way of not singing the book, since it doesn’t seem like my book work any mote. It is an oddity. OK, Ralph Steadman. 26. Nov. 2001.” The postcard features a drawing by Steadman from the book Poor Mouth by Flann O’Brien. This is Television was first published in 1958.
