Yow! A follow-up to Zippy

I meant to write about this over the weekend, but it got away from me. Despite the pouring rain and gusting wind, I did make it to That's Entertainment in Worcester for Free Comic Book Day. It's a great store— all kinds of comics, action figures, posters, toys, and what-not. (Lots of what-not.)

Bill Griffith was there, and he signed my copy of his new book: From Here to Absurdity. I also got to meet Richard J. S. Gutman and chat with him briefly. I asked him if he had a favorite diner, and he said the Mayfair. After looking at this photo, I can see why. Happily, he will be curating an exhibit this summer at the Culinary Archives & Museum at Johnson & Wales, Providence, RI. Now that the weather's getting nice, take a road trip and check out Diners: Still Cooking in the 21st Century. Don't forget to stop at Jigger's.
