You’ll never learn Latin from Mort Walker, folks.

This is off topic, but there was a PBS special about Herge, the maker of Tintin, last night. I thought you might enjoy it, if you have a chance to catch it as a rerun sometime.

Herge, too, had an interest in meticulously documenting the details of places, in his cartoons. Maybe that’s why you both are so good at capturing ambience, whether it’s a plane crash in Tibet or the family Fun Home.

Finally, the latin pun explained. I’ve been wondering for years what “sic transit gloria Tuesday” was all about!

…speaking of our old pal Gloria Mundi,
there’s a seriously good (in all senses) review of
_Fun Home_ by Hillary Chute in “The Village Voice”:

(P.S. The article mentions “a promotional DVD that came
with the book”. Are these available anywhere?)
