In Discworld, cities thrive because they welcome dwarfs, trolls, vampires, and humans alike. Ankh-Morpork works because everyone belongs. Funny how fiction can seem more humane than policy sometimes.

When you think of iconic movie posters, you think of his work. RIP Drew Struzan, you will always be the gold standard.
