An Artist’s Legacy
A check of today's New Yorker penbots yields
an entertaining piece on pop culture by Sarah Larson:
Perhaps, in death's dream kingdom, there is some guidance from
the illustrator who reportedly did the book cover in the previous post —
one Hector Garrido.
"Operation Childlike Innocence, Phase One."
— Sarah Larson, quoted here on Sept. 5, 2015.
Garrido's dies natalis was reportedly 19 April, 2020.

Elementally, My Dear Watson
Sarah Larson in the online New Yorker on Sept. 3, 2015,
discussed Google’s new parent company, “Alphabet”—
“… Alphabet takes our most elementally wonderful
general-use word—the name of the components of
language itself*—and reassigns it, like the words
tweet, twitter, vine, facebook, friend, and so on,
into a branded realm.”
Emma Watson in “The Bling Ring”

Operation Blockhead
A New Yorker writer on the new parent corporation of
Google, named Alphabet:
"In Larry Page’s letter explaining it to us, Alphabet
is illustrated with a bunch of kids’ building blocks.
Operation Childlike Innocence, Phase One."
— Sarah Larson
Building blocks, Sarah, are not the same thing
as alphabet blocks. For the distinction, see a
Log24 post of August 14, 2015, "Being Interpreted."
The New Yorker apparently also has another fact wrong.
The official version of Page's letter is not "illustrated."
Perhaps, Sarah, you mistook the new Alphabet website
abc.xyz, which did show alphabet blocks and quoted
Page's letter, for the letter itself.

Midrash from Sept. 3 at the online New Yorker —
"We don’t instinctively care about the brand unity
Google wants to achieve with its new mega-company,
Alphabet, of which it is now a part. Especially because
Alphabet takes our most elementally wonderful
general-use word—the name of the components of
language itself—and reassigns it, like the words tweet,
twitter, vine, facebook, friend, and so on, into a branded
realm. In Larry Page’s letter explaining it to us,
Alphabet is illustrated with a bunch of kids’ building blocks.
Operation Childlike Innocence, Phase One."
