Heh, I've met Sendak. He's a nice man. Not to mention how fantastic his work is, especially Where the Wild Things Are.
Now, scroll up at that picture Grouch posted. Look closely at it. Notice anything striking??
No? Keep looking?
Do you see it?
That's right, the wild thing he is standing in front of in that picture is his self-portrait. In fact, when I met him, I couldn't stop think that. I didn't want to offend him "Hey, you look like the monster-guy in your book", so I kept my mouth shut. Eventually, he revealed it to me, and I smiled politely and said "I thought maybe it was a self-portrait."
