This Thing



The NCS handed me this last night for which I'm grateful in countless ways, not the least being that I didn't fall over. A longer post to come.

About friggin' time, sir. The final nail in the coffin of proof that you are indeed, a much better cartoonist than I.

I owe you a beer now.

The trophy will look right at home beside the epergne and Alice's birdbath/big ugly fountain.
(You don't have to give it back next year, do you?)

Rock on Richard! Remember it's not just an award but an exercise tool as well. Try working your core by doing sit ups with it on your chest. I hope it doesn't collapse your table in Charlotte! See you soon.

I go out of town for a few days and this happens? God, will you be impossible to deal with now.
I bet you get a manager, a posse and stalkers now. All I have to say is...
It is about time my dear friend. You are one of the greatest of all time.
