If you can own only one Scrappy Painting Book — and really, life is incomplete without at least one — it should probably be this one, No. 54. The cover is similar to that of No. 52, but Oopy looks happy rather than ticked off. And the drawings on the inside are accompanied by Scrappy poems! I’ll show you some of them before long, I promise.
(The numbering system is misleading: As much as I’d like to think that Rosebud Art Co. published fifty-four Scrappy Painting Books, these are the only two I know about. See here for a photo of Scrappy’s friend Edith Fellows posing with No. 54.)
