Yesterday was a dark day.  I had the great pleasure of sending Mr. Buckley a cartoon of himself back in 1987, in the hopes that he'd get a kick out of it, and maybe include it in his "Notes and Asides" column.

He did just that, and it remains, in all my days of cartooning, my proudest moment.  He inspired me and shaped my political viewpoint.  I've added that cartoon to my Catholic Cartoon Blog.

God rest his soul, and may Eternal Light shine upon him.
