Giving graphs a subtitle

I want to give my graph a title in big 18pt font, then a subtitle below it in smaller 10pt font. How can I do this in matplotlib? It appears the title() function only takes one single string with a single fontsize attribute. There has to be a way to do this, but how?
I don't think there is anything built-in, but you can do it by leaving more space above your axes and using figtext: axes([.1,.1,.8,.7]) figtext(.5,.9,'Foo Bar', fontsize=18, ha='center') figtext(.5,.85,'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit',fontsize=10,ha='center') ha is short for horizontalalignment.
