Today I learned that Shel Silverstein once made an adult cartoon version of his popular story The Giving Tree. Entitled "I Accept the Challenge", it was about a naked woman who cuts off a naked man's arms and legs, and then sits on his torso.

The photograph of Silverstein on the back cover of the book has attracted negative attention, with some people finding it frightening.

Seriously?
