LOL! That was pretty good. :)

Excellent.

Ken Burns is really planning a history on comic strips in 2013 for PBS?

Remember the American Masters Charles Schulz/Peanuts episode some years back?

I have to admit that when Tom introduced this piece at the Reuben Dinner I fell for it until the video started :-)

Wish Ken Burns was really going to do something – anyone have his number?

Don’t attempt to watch this video at work, unless you want unwarranted attention from your co-workers for your snickers and thinly-supressed chortles. I hope R. C. Harvey loved it as much as I did!

I asked Bob (Harvey) immediately following its screening what he thought of the short, and he told me he couldn’t hear much of it – he wears a hearing aid – but he did laugh at Jeannie Schulz using his book to crack nuts.

@Anne:

Indeed, I have Ken’s number, even going so far as to write him this “open letter” after he and I chatted in D.C. last year: http://wapo.st/co19cg .

* The official reply: Although Mr. Burns enjoyed the piece, his film docket is booked for many years.

If only we could get Tom to make a *real* film. Gammill? Gammill??…

–M.C.

Haha, Great!

“…but a fight broke out, over the word ‘chiaroscuro’ and shots were fired.”

Laugh my butt off, that’s the funniest piece of writing I’ve seen in long time! LOL!!

Tom, you are a wizard, sir.
