I happened to catch this bit of an Antiques Roadshow episode.
Having missed the “origin story” of the copy under discussion, I found it here.

April Tool
An eccentric April Fool painting by America’s greatest illustrator.

His Breakfast with Wayno
Two of my favorite cartoonists chat about themselves, each other, and what they do to pay the bills.
I’m a subscriber to Dan’s Naked Cartoonist Club. He doesn’t call it a club, but I miss the feeling of belonging I had in the Merry Marvel Marching Society.

I found these scans on art dealer Mike Burkey’s site, Romitaman.com.

Adams and Eves
The root cause of the DEI debacle is batshit crazy white women who don’t know how anything works outside the female experience.
– Scott Adams
It’s been a year since Andrews McMeel cancelled Dilbert, a decision that Scott Adams blames on the DEI movement. Freed from the shackles of syndicate oppression, Adams is an unapologetic right-wing extremist. He says Democrats are playing the victim card, while claiming to be a DEI victim himself.

Foot Don’t Fail Me Now
Snoopy accurately captured my present situation in yesterday’s Peanuts reprint (presented here with permission, for a nominal fee).
I’m in physical therapy for the collapsed arch in my right foot. I’ve been good about doing the exercises at home, and the results are promising.
Yesterday, the foot felt good enough to go running, but I don’t dare risk undoing the progress I’m making. As I told the podiatrist and the therapist, my goal is to avoid surgery. If that means no longer being able to go running, then so be it.
