She is perhaps best known for her series of humorous titles, beginning with Suds in Your Eye, that center around three altruistic, beer-loving elderly women who reside in the San Diego junkyard Noah’s Ark. The series features illustrations by George Price, known for his art in The New Yorker. In 1944, Jack Kirkland adapted Suds in Your Eye into a Broadway play. In addition to her novels, Lasswell wrote editorials for the Houston Chronicle in the 1960s.view less
