Have we ever done a more than well deserved appreciation thread for EarlG? Let this be it for today

[Mira]

As I am chuckling over the perfection of the graphic on the home page, which brilliantly distills the essence of the candidates for the Republican Debate lineup tonight, I am pretty damn grateful for his wit and professionalism and that EarlG allows us to partake in it.

I laud EarlG and I'll drink to him every time one of them tonight says something I can agree with.
Your admirer who will in all probablility remain stone cold sober

23. It's a plot to keep us happy with circus clowns.

Just like Rove's last manipulated presidency - don't worry Mittens, I've got the numbers all locked up.

21. Damn. Every time I click on the DU Rec button, someone comes right behind me and unclicks it.

How am I supposed to register my 1,000 likes? Stupid SOB. Doesn't s/he know how great EarlG is?

Thanks, Mira. Small tipples for safety's sake!

[Happyhippychick]

22. I've always had a crush on EarlG.....

[cwydro]

24. Completely agree.

That graphic made me laugh out loud.

My 89 year old mom who always asks about what's happening on DU keeps asking to look at it again - she was that tickled by it.

[KT2000]

25. they are always good

and I bet a lot of people check in to see them daily!

[Fla Dem]

26. I love EarlG. Got his permission to occasionally cross post his graphics to another forum I visit.nt

[Chemisse]

27. EarlG, you are great!

Your front-page graphics are always spot on!

[passiveporcupine]

29. Thanks for your good work EarlG

this one was really priceless! Love that Rand Paul image.

[SpankMe]

30. I'm not merely chuckling. I'm ROTFL.

Really. Today's graphic is a massive home run. I don't know why it hits me so perfectly, but it's worthy of a DUzy award (or whatever the DU hall of fame status is called).

Congratulations EarlG. You never fail to "make my day". Especially today.

[FailureToCommunicate]

31. Happy that you gave us another chance to jump aboard...and say...

[merrily]

43. +1

[eridani]

44. I dearly hope he never gets tired of doing these n/t

[progree]

45. For sure. I think he is one of the greats -- like great cartoonists to pick a close analogy

though most of the pictures are not cartoons, but rather a unique new form of succinct political expression (and truth). If I owned a newspaper, I would sure be having discussions with him.

48. I love the pictures he posts. They say what needs to be said - in one picture.

DU is very lucky to have the Admins. that we have.

51. Thanks, I am enjoying the ride now.

[BlueMTexpat]

52. It was EarlG's "Top Ten" that helped me to find DU

and helped me stay sane up until 2008 when I actually signed up for DU so that I could recommend posts. I love the graphics!

I lurked a lot before signing up but never failed to read the "Top Ten" ... and then also got hooked on the late JeffR's "DUZY's" as well.

Life seemed a bit simpler then, when one could distill GOPer lunacy into only 10 candidates per week. Now it's such a free-for-all, it would have to be at least the "Top 50." That's definitely more than a full-time job in itself to keep track - probably enough for at least 10 DUers per week.

DU as job creator??

[EarlG]

53. Hey, thanks Mira and everyone

I really appreciate it
