I love this! You probably did absorb some of her aura, the part that said it’s OK to be star struck by true heroes.
What! I got the same taste as Maya Angelou? Oh, yeah, there’s hope for me yet.
I saw her a couple of months ago… it’s hard not to be starstruck, even from waaaaaay back in the theater.
That’s the best Keef, – she wanted your autograph, that’s way off the chart of one of the coolest things that could happen to you!
Glad you like the strip..Obviously it’s an oldie but goodie, considering the hair and all…
Well you know… some people are worth being starstruck by!
Also: You personally gifted one of your books to someone *without* signing it to them? Dude, wake up! Even your friends and family will appreciate the personal touch, let alone celebrities!
You don’t think you’re someone’s Maya Angelou?
Growing up I only got to see 5-6 baseball games in person. My dad took me to Houston Astros games and Bob Aspromonte hit at least four home runs in those few games. I saw Hank Aaron play but he didn’t hit a home run when I was there. I realized later that Aaron was a better player but Aspromonte is still my hero. You don’t have to be the greatest to be someone’s hero. Some days just being great is enough.
I was wondering about the hair myself. Wait…you met Ron Jeremy? I heard he is a funny guy in person.
Looking forward to seeing you at this years SPX.
Gentleman Cartoonist says it. You’re in the League.
I met Oprah once. Same thing. I was 100% star struck. She even *apologized* to me for something she did not make happen for me and I kept standing there thinking, “You’re Oprah. You don’t have to apologize to anyone.”
It was thrilling to meet someone bigger than life, yet humble enough to offer an apology for an imagined slight.
I seem to recall way way back in KChronicles history that Keith had met Dr. Angelou previously…though not with a book in hand. The Ron Jeremy reference was used then and still causes me to chuckle.
