Meeting Herblock many years ago
Herb "Herblock" Block at the opening of his Library of Congress exhibit in 1999. I was lucky enough to attend and briefly meet him. Thanks to Sarah Alex of the Herblock foundation for the photos. I'm getting a FDC of the stamps he designed signed by him in the second photo.

Jack Ohman on visiting DC for his Herblock prize
The Trumplandia Tour!
It's weirder than you think in Washington, D.C....

My visit to President Kennedy's gravesite

RIP Ted White, writer about comics (updated)
White lived in Falls Church, and also wrote for the Falls Church News-Press. He was mostly active in science fiction, but wrote for Heavy Metal as well as the first Captain America prose novel.
Honoring Ted White
After I posted this, I received the following email that Joel gave me permission to quote here: Not only did Ted White write for Heavy Metal, he was the editor for several years, and brought American creators into its pages.
Ted was a very early comics fan at a time when science fiction fandom shunned comics.
He was one of the top EC comics fans, along with the recently departed Larry Stark, long-departed Bhob Stewart, and still-with-us Fred von Bernewitz (who grew up in Silver Spring and graduated from Montgomery Blair HS).

Comictropolis launch at MLK library (updated with link to more photos)
COMICTROPOLIS: La Borinqueña Rises - An Afternoon with Edgardo Miranda-Rodriguez and David Betancourt at Martin Luther King library is starting.
One disturbed person was removed after cursing at the stage so it got a little late.
Shawn Martinbrough is teaching comics creation afterwards.
