My friend Zaven Keleshian posted this on FACEBOOK. We are seeing what may be the worst blizzard in Chicago since 1967 right now! The kind of blizzard that you see towards the end of RANKIN/BASS' RUDOLPH with elves spinning with packages and eskimos and igloos blowing around!

Congrats to Ernest Borgnine!
Ernest Borgnine received a special SAG award tonight for his 60 years in the business!I love great advertising characters....
What ever happened to them? At least ALKA-SELTZER has been bringing Speedy back! I can't believe the things I see in commercials and ads these days. I have seen two commercials recently with two guys at bathroom stalls together talking???!! What happened?Saturday, January 29, 2011

Dick Locher to end his 32 year run on DICK TRACY
On March 14th, the DICK TRACY comic strip will have a new team working on it. Dick Locher has decided to move on and do some other things BUT will continue doing editorial cartoons.
Dick and I talked about his McDonald's paintings. I have an alternate version of the painting above that he painted the boy on the left as a white boy. He said Ray Kroc wanted to get Norman Rockwell to do the paintings and somehow found his way to him.
Dick's TRACY work will be missed. My parents recall a dinner he attended with them for a police function some years back.
