That's the work of the great Barry Blitt, of The New Yorker fame, in case you were wondering. And the Charles Bukowski caricature is a particularly droll touch.
BTW -- click on the image to embiggen it.
I should add that, yes, I'm looking forward to seeing Chalamet's Dylan bio-pic, although I'm profoundly skeptical going in.
I mean, he may be a great actor, but he just reads too goyische for me to find him convincing in the role.
Anyway, as you may have suspected -- a coveted PowerPop No-Prize© will be awarded the first reader who gleans the above's relevance to the theme of tomorrow's Weekend Essay Question.

Favorite Dylan covers?
- Paul in DK
You've just set the land speed record. Your coveted No-Prize© is on its way.
1/chalamet looks goyische, admittedly - but although his dad is of protestant background and half canadian [as am i - and as i have stated before, a young jewish woman once said i was "as anglo as white bread" - although mi esposa es una mestiza peruana] wikipedia tells us: His mother, Nicole Flender, is a third-generation New Yorker, of half Russian Jewish and half Austrian Jewish descent.
1.5/and mr. zimmerman himself, while his appearance fully reflects his ancestral background - not that there's anything wrong with that - grew up in minnesota and definitely was shaped by his midwestern early environment
2/hendrix - all along the watchtower
hendrix - please crawl out your window
linda ronstadt - i'll be your baby tonight
peter paul & mary - the times they are a'changing
joan baez - "any day now" the whole double album of covers - i gave it to my dad, the anglo from canada, for christmas - he said he liked it
Save the covers for tomorrow. We're also gonna be doing least favorites.
Geez, steve, you're obsessed with the Jewish/goyish thing. It's an age-old tradition to prettify the subjects of movie bios. I mean, Cary Grant played Cole Porter, for crissakes. And even though I was a kid, I clearly remember it was years before it was generally known that Dylan was Jewish, so it wasn't like his looks gave it away immediately.
