I'm surprised nobody thought of drawing a Tilley of color, but then again it is the New Yorker.

Well, does this one count?

I suffered Eustace Tilley fatigue, and didn't get all the way through them, but I thought this one and this one were pretty good.

@whir: There are plenty of colors in there. They're just not the colors you're looking for.

Crumb re-did it best.

squalor's favorite is a revisiting of the Times Square debate we had here on the blue just two days ago. Of course Crumb is the master, our modern day Bruegel.

Wow, there weren't nearly so many entries when I looked last week. I think this one is still my favorite.

The history link mentions that there has been a Eustace "of color" as you say. Thanks for playing.

Eustace's cameo in Hitchcock's "Lifeboat".
