Tea for One
I cannot say enough about the graphic novels/histories of Rick Geary. It is the teapot here that has prompted me to post this, but Geary’s work is fabulous in every way. Now, I could be chided, as Miss Madeleine Smith’s chosen beverage when entertaining was hot chocolate, but this is no time to quibble. I have at least a half dozen of Geary’s books, and you should, too.

Here are four of the postcards, to give a sense of the jollity.
