The Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe

Urban Homes - The Old Woman in the City

ECLIPSE Image Number 01880000 ECLIPSE Image Number 00360001 ECLIPSE Image Number 02940000

Consider:

How do these artists, in very different ways, give the impression of an urban setting?

Compare and contrast the humor conveyed in these images.

How do the use of details, or lack thereof, contribute to the impact of the illustration?

Might one interpret the cartoon image differently without its caption?
