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.

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.
