The Best of Times Online: Let's Celebrate the Comics . . .

Let's Celebrate the Comics . . .

We have a special place in our hearts for the comics and cartoonists. Our founder Mort Walker created the International Museum of Cartoon Art which now resides at Ohio State University.

So here is some Cartoon/Comic trivia for today. A birthday "shout out" for Murat Bernard "Chic" Young (January 9, 1901 - March 14, 1973), creator of Blondie. His son Dean Young carries on the tradition. Check out this online exhibition, Blondie Gets Married!

Hurricane Katrina brought me to CT/NY from New Orleans. Craig's List "introduced me" to Mort Walker and his magazine The Best of Times (in case you haven't heard, Mort Walker is the creator of Beetle Bailey, the founder of the National Cartoon Museum and an all around nice guy).

So . . . what really got my attention was the magazine's name, The Best of Times. It intrigues me. Yes, I mean intrigues, defined as: to arouse the curiosity or interest of, by unusual, new or otherwise fascinating or compelling qualities; appeal strongly to; captivate; to achieve or earn by appealing to another's curiosity, fancy, or interest. Yes, Yes, Yes, to arouse interest and curiosity in The Best of Times. What does it mean? Are we living in The Best of Times, if so what are we doing and if not, why not?

So, I have voluntarily taken on the task of asking Who, What, When, Where, Why and How do we, are we having The Best of Times.

Please join me in this adventure.
