    Since tomorrow is Columbus day in the USA, here's a nice bit of Columbus-related exonumia.

    Disclaimer: it is embarrassing that we celebrate this guy. Check out this little comic for some reasons why-- http://theoatmeal.com/comics/columbus_day

    Yet I bought it anyway. :oops:

    It's a classic Tif, and a cartoon that I remember as a wee child, though I dare say that child like imp still resides in me.

    Here's my tribute to Chris. It's been posted here before. If anyone is offended then I caution you not to look.....
