Buttons - Popular Culture - 1980s

On the curl: Most of the curl is cut off, but I can read "Warren, MI."

I am pretty sure this button was given to me in the 1980s when the Stooges were rediscovered.

Drawn ca. 1986-1988.

To Touch the Face of Larry

First published in 1998, probably in August or September, 35 copies on cardstock (19 green, 16 yellow).

The 2nd ed., which was published a month or so later, had 15 copies on cardstock (14 grey, 1 blue). There is no edition statement.

The 1st Danger Room Reprint Ed. of June 2005 consisted of 5 blue cardstock copies.

In 2006 the story was posted both on OlyBlog and Loafers Magazine.

It was drawn with a #1 lead pencil.

I'm very fond of this one. The concept came from Ann Hartman, a fellow McClearyite who told me her sister Ruth always imagined God to look like her Larry Fine (of the Three Stooges) hand puppet. So I took it from there and brought that idea to it's natural conclusion.

And just so you know, I like Curly but Shemp rules, man. Shemp smoked cigars and had a son named Morty.
