can I have your autograph?

[radfringe]

WOW! talk about an ego boost.

Last night my mom, sister and I went to dinner with my brother and his S/O. Before the dessert course my brother and I went outside for a smoke.

My brother asked me how my toons were doing, and said he checks them out everyday and a few people at his work place do the same. They love them.

I told my brother that I've been running the "out of context" toons while I'm out here in MN visiting, but the RADICAL FRINGE toons will be back once I get home.

I heard a gasp from another group of people also standing outside having a smoke - "the radical fringe?" I turned around to see a man looking at me with an amazed look on his face.

He asked "are you the one that does the Radical Fringe cartoons?"

me: yes

the man: Oh my god!! I love them! I have them e-mailed to me and I've sent the links to my friends.

me: Cool! Thank-you, glad you like them

the man: at the risk of seeming a bit like a celebrity stalker - can I have your autograph?

me: (a bit flustered) sure, and you have the distinction of being the first person to make such a request, maybe I should be also asking for your autograph

we talked for a bit more about politics etc., I told him to check out the DU, good group of people there, lots of information etc.

my brother and I go back to the table, where my brother announces: "She's famous!! She just got asked for her autograph!!!"

my brother's S/O immediately called for another bottle of wine...

1. That is so cool. so exciting! I've never seen your stuff and would like to.

How do I find them? I do art. I grew up wanting to do cartoons but, now I just paint. Nothing special but, it's fun.

3. You've ALWAYS been famous here!

I suspect that if you have more similar discussions out there in the "brick and mortar" world, you'll be mobbed!:)

5. It is nice to hear that your visit has taken a positive turn

I have been thinking about you since your post yesterday and was hoping that something would change for you. I am glad it did.

Congrats on getting asked for autograph. Well deserved.
