Just a girl in a t-shirt/Her reputation precedes her

Kevin Church and Benjamin Birdie must surely think me the most blasé and ungrateful bull that ever put hooves to a comic book blog, because it's just over one week since they posted a beautiful and wonderful homage to yours little stuffed truly as worn by my favorite character in April 16th's installment of their webcomic The Rack, the thing of beauty and a joy forever. And altho' I'm a faithful Rack reader, a busy busy 4/16 kept me from checkin' it that day, and I've only just discovered it. But I'm so totally chuffed, gobsmacked, and golly-whillickered that I can't believe it. Me! A comic strip character! Now I can finally lift my head up with pride when Moon Mullins pokes fun at me when I run into him at the grocery store. Seriously, Misters Church and Birdie, you are tops in my book. Thank you so very much for the lovely and eloquent tribute in a strip about projectile vomiting.

"Thank you very much" also to Bill D. at Trusty Plinko Stick who, inspired by The Rack, suggests a t-shirt design you should all be wearing at San Diego Comic-Con this year. I'll be looking for Bill to give him a big fuzzy hug, and also for all of you to make sure that you're wearing yours. I'm Bully, and I support the statement on that t-shirt 100%.

Sniff. You made my little stuffed day, all of ya. In the words of Albert Finney: Thank you very much, thank you very much, that's the nicest thing that anyone's ever done for me. And he should know: he was Hercule Poirot.
