The big hand of the clock is at 12. The little hand is at 7

Why did I not know until after he died that Russell Hoban of Riddley Walker (1980) also wrote Bedtime for Frances (1960) and Emmett Otter's Jug-Band Christmas (1971)? I read the latter as a very small child and the former in college; I never put the names together. I was prepared to miss a luminary of science fiction and now I'm grieving for a small pencil-drawn badger.

Frances fanfic with illustrations like his would be great :D

Illustrations of the fic I'm imagining would be...dangerously imaginable, actually.
