In Seattle last night, two lovely Fantagraphians bestowed me with a copy of 500 PORTRAITS by Tony Millionaire.

They pointed out that I was in it, on page 138.

This makes me astonished and happy and embarrassed, for Tony Millionaire is one of our true genii. And too, look, right there on the same page is my old friend John Sellers! And Borges! And you were there, too, Cthulhu!

I don’t know how those other guys crashed our party, though.

In any case, you should go out and get this book. It’s absolutely beautiful, painstaking, and weird, inside and out, just like I imagine Tony is himself: the ORIGINAL deranged millionaire.

Go buy it at your local bookstore or comic shop or: http://www.fantagraphics.com

And if you bring a copy to Book People tonight (or any of these last stops on THE END IS NIGH tour),I will pencil in my own mustache.*

THAT IS ALL

*and Paul F Tompkins’s too. Roderick is in this book TWICE, both bearded and non, so he gets NOTHING.
