Congrats to Dave Coverly. Is it wise to profess being content with your current number of papers, or should one always publicly declare the desire to be in more and more papers, just so the syndicate and editors don't think you're slackin'??? Just askin'! ;) Another nice write up for Speed Bump … well deserved! Congrats to Dave Coverly.

If I'm going to subsidize tax payer funded "Crucifix in Urine" and "wtf is that???" on the lawn of my local post office, I would think a few xtra-Large $$$ could come our way. However you couch the request, throw the word "fairness" in it somewhere and it should fly. Thanks, ML http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/culturemonster/2009/02/arts-money-1.html Alan, I am obviously too stupid to know how to attach my avatar. Pls. advise. Dear Ted Rall,

Nay! Try to buy any of his work at a reasonable price. He's just appealing to a different group these days - fine arts and Judaica collectors. His work is awesome though - anyone close should go see this exhibit. Szyk forgotten? Nay! Try to buy any of his work at a reasonable price.
