That would be me. Today’s my birthday and so I’m celebrating by running one of my favorite pieces of art from my collection. My living room is devoted to George Herriman and Krazy Kat. The the color of the walls are based on a George Herriman painting. And the living room is where I hang my George Herriman originals. My favorite Sunday page is usually above the mantle but that’s now in the American Masters exhibit at the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles. So this Birthday piece is hanging there now. It was supposedly done in for the fiftieth anniversary of the L.A. Herald.

So you now know two important things: 1) It’s my birthday. 2) I like George Herriman originals.
