My friend of many (27) years, Kurt, got married today, and I had to come up with a cartoon post haste. You see Kurt is Swedish, then American, but has lived in Germany, too. (Thus "verbunden" Plus I couldn't find a good translation online in time, maybe someone who knows swedish will fill me in) We've been friends for so long, a few years ago at his 60th birthday he opened a can of the smelliest fish I have ever eaten... but tasted smooth like a fine french cheese. I'll never forget it, and I'll never need t do it again. That's Diane, Kurt's lucky bride, holding the can out the window. He has had the same Volvo ever since he got his drivers' license, so I had to include that. We worked and actually cartooned together with the astronauts via fax on the Intelsat mission team of STS-49, first flight of the Endeavour and I'll never forget that. So here's to Kurt and Diane. Kurt promised a long life to Diane, his father is almost 101.
