I'll post a blog and some pictures shortly after the event (e.g. by Monday). I live too close to resist not going. I'll also try to determine how many of these kids acorn was able to register. ;) I decided to go to this. I’ll post a blog and some pictures shortly after the event (e.g. by Monday).

I remember the Today Show segments with Jane Pauly....thinking ( I want to be THAT guy ).

(Mike's interview is featured in the current issue of "Stay Tooned! Magazine, BTW.) Unfortunately, that's the same weekend of our NCS chapter meeting in Chattanooga.

I am thankful he is spending one of those new weekends off with the ToonSeum in Pittsburgh. Mother Goose and Grimm:The Art of Mike Peters goes up next week! The work is just amazing. If you happen to be around Pittsburgh come on by, see the exhibit and say hi to Mike, he will be with us that weekend along with Rob Rogers and Ann Telnaes for a panel on the campaign too! Now if we could only get Ted Rall to visit us...... Mike Peters is a great cartoonist and a great guy. I am thankful he is spending one of those new weekends off with the ToonSeum in Pittsburgh.

Besides Corey Pandolph, I mean. I’d like to know, is there a more beloved figure in cartooning than Mikey? Besides Corey Pandolph, I mean.

He (and Bob Englehart of the Dayton Journal Herald) was important influence to my future incarnation as an editorial cartoonist, although my interest was in comic strips at the time. He (they) always had time for my visits and showed me the tools of the trade.

The man definitely has some Peter Pan blood flowing through his veins. Mike Peters' work knocks my socks off. I love his early work that doesn't look like the Mike Peters we know today. And I love the thick brush lines that have been imitated, but never improved upon by others. Just wonderful, beautiful work. No one tells better stories than Mike Peters. And no one gives better hugs than Mike Peters. I mean, that's what Mike Lester tells me. :-) Even Superman needs a break. Looking at Mike Peters, you’d never guess he was retirement age.

I used to watch Mike Peters(Pan) flit about on the Today Show set w/ Jane Pauley and think, "now there's a guy who loves his job." He was a frequent and always entertaining guest who drew on command and while he chattered: a skill much harder than it looks. While I wish him infinite weekends, I'll miss his work. “I wouldn’t be cartooning if it weren’t for Mike” -Ted Rall

Of COURSE Peters deserves a weekend! He deserves a lot more than that, and we readers get the continued benefit of his sticking around. Maybe a new model is needed, one that allows a staff cartoonist to scale back weekly output so that he/she can burn brightly for a longer time. Thanks, Mike!
