“He was 6-foot-8, but not as beefy,” Steadman says of {Hunter} Thompson, who killed himself in 2005. “I miss him very much. He told me, ‘I feel trapped in this life, Ralph. I could commit suicide at any moment.’ ” Before he did, the father of gonzo journalism told Steadman to “stop that filthy scribbling.”

Happily, he didn’t listen. At 80, the soft-spoken Brit is merrily scribbling away — though “merrily” doesn’t quite describe the bile into which he dips his pen when the topic turns to politics. Fans of Donald Trump, Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan should steer clear of the Society of Illustrators, where Steadman’s work fills four floors.

I may have to take a trip....
