Palm restaurant caricature pictures incidentally in Post

Palm restaurant caricature pictures appeared incidentally in Post today, in an article on waiters who remember orders as opposed to writing them down. The article, oddly enough, appeared above the fold on the front page so one could seen Brant Parker's Wizard of Id in the background by the waiter's head.

Richard Thompson on meeting Brant Parker

Geez, I had lunch (or 'linner') with Richard Thompson on Sunday and he never mentioned that he put his story about meeting Brant "Wizard of Id" Parker up on his blog, so every blogger in America has the story before me. It's a good story though, and I'm glad Richard got it down in 'print'.

Richard would also like you to know that you can buy 365 unique Cul de Sac t-shirts.

Brant Parker used to live in Centreville

Brant Parker used to live in Centreville back when it wasn't a farm of tract houses. See his wife's reminiscences in "‘Wizard of Id’ cartoonist’s wife makes Lynchburg home" By Liz Barry, The Lynchburg News & Advance August 25, 2009.

I remember being a kid 30 years ago and reading the Wizard of Id, B.C. and Crock in those paperback reprints. For a while there the Hart-Parker-Rechin team was unbeatable.
