They're almost shorthand for so many jokes. There was even a spoof book put out about them in 1986 called "More Fun with Dick and Jane" published by Penguin. It purported to be an update about what happened to all of the characters.<br /><br />I found "Bill and Susan" at a flea market. I'd never heard of them or seen the illustrations. Occasionally I see the book for sale on ebay.<br /><br />And yes, it was all done with tongue firmly planted in cheek. <br /><br />I do wish I could find information about the illustrator, but so far nothing.Tattered and Losthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00208918251232477186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3586104591124883214.post-11649885140664929982009-06-21T20:09:01.737-07:002009-06-21T20:09:01.737-07:00I am not familiar with Bill and Susan [probably be...I am not familiar with Bill and Susan [probably because I am in England!] but laughed like mad when I got to the end of your post. Now you have me confused - was your entry a spoof until the end?<br /><br />When I went went to school in 1955, I learned English from Janet and John books, but they weren't half as much fun as Bill and Susan look to be from the marvellous illustrations you put up. Fantastic!<br />LaurieLauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00006665414059398782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3586104591124883214.post-92160533347601689442009-06-15T09:28:22.243-07:002009-06-15T09:28:22.243-07:00I saw you over at Willow's and checked out you...I saw you over at Willow's and checked out your little universe and liked what I saw.
