People Are Rad.

Friday, November 07, 2008 - 05:51 PM

I always like to give a public "thank you" when a Sheldonista surprises me with something kind...but I've just now realized I never thanked two Baltimore-based readers for an *awesome* gift (below) that they gave me at Baltimore Comic-Con.

I'm still astounded when I go to a convention and people show up with gfts. I won't lie: It's a lovely thing -- but it's still such unexpected kindness. There have been dozens of Sheldonistas that show up with gifts of Hobnobs, most likely based on this strip (...and Lord knows those cookies rarely last an hour in my hands.)

But occassionally people go waaay above and beyond in their kindness. Some examples that I've mentioned in the past:

- A 1930's cartoon printing plate.

- A cake made out of Sheldon and PvP artwork.

- A really cool Flaco sculpture.

But today I realized that I never shared this gift from two brothers in Baltimore: A Sheldon sculpture made entirely out of colored pipe cleaners. What an amazingly cool way to do it!

Thank you guys! You'll be happy to know he sits right on my monitor, and reminds me to get back to drawin'. :)

Wow! I am impressed with the patience and skill the guys have with pipe cleaners! Mine would have been a very deformed looking Sheldon. And I love that he actually has hands!

In an earlier post, someone commented that it would be cool if the KANE on the Life in the ROAR cartoon plate was Bob Kane.

Well, it may be.

According to a Will Eisner site (and reprinted elsewhere) your printing press cartoon may be the work of Batman's creator (Bill Finger's contribution unknown at this time.)

My personal feeling is that it was done by Bob Kane. I certainly haven't done the thorough research to back that up, but there are a few sites online that seem to reinforce that.

...makes it an especially neat gift, doesn't it?
