(blush)


This is from the Washington City Paper, the Paper of Record in this town (even if they did drop most of their comics and Rob Ullman's excellent illustrations, what were they thinking?). If you see it in the Washington City Paper it's so, like Virginia O'Hanlon's father said about the New York Sun. And thank you, Mark Athatakis, from this now officially designated Local Institution.

And congratulations to Mike Rhode whose blog, Comics DC, won for (Comic) Art Blog.

Thank you, thank you! As a Local Institution I pledge to keep my liquor license up to date, stay open late on weekends & holidays, and provide ample free parking.

Soon to be listed on the National Historic Landmark registry. And then ultimately embalmed in the Smithsonian Hall of Americana between Dorothy's ruby slippers and Mister Rogers' sweater.

Well deserved!

Congratulations! I can't WAIT for the merchandising train to start rolling. I need a Cul de Sac matching bedspread and curtains. Well, need is a strong word...

Robert Ullman said...

Congrats, and well deserved!

May D.C.'s pigeons pass over your statue and hold it until they get to whatever contemporary monstrosity is installed outside the Irvine.

Again, thank you, thank you!

What I'm waiting for is to be designated a Living National Treasure. 'Cause then you're issued a FEMA trailer and all the cheese you can eat.
