First of all, yes, I’ve recycled the feature image from last year’s 19th anniversary post.

As I mentioned in today’s Monday Morning Art, this is a bit of a big week for PopCult.  Thursday marks twenty years since the start of this blog. The illustration at the right is my self-portrait that I supplied to Douglas Imbrogno way back in August, 2005, when I started this blog at The Charleston Gazette.

Doug asked me for a photo, but…and in retrospect, this is incredibly hilarious…I thought I might be able to keep photos of myself off the internet.

You can take a moment to howl at that thought. This was before I revived Radio Free Charleston as a video show and smeared my face all over PopCult like a toddler with poo.

This week I’m loading up the blog with some special content, including retrospective articles, brand-new reviews and at least a couple of fun photo essays.

Later today you can expect a “Monday Morning Art Gallery,” looking back at 20 of my favorite pieces that I’ve created over the years. Tomorrow we’ll have notes on our AIR programming, plus a history of Radio Free Charleston and a look back at the most important thing I’ve done in the last twenty years.

Wednesday you can expect STUFF TO DO, plus a toy review and notes on that day’s new programs on The AIR.

Thursday is our actual anniversary, so I’ll write about that. Extra posts that day will include a book review and a fun photo essay.

Friday brings another photo essay, and maybe a surprise or two.

The weird thing is, I still don’t feel like I’m old enough to be having a twentieth annivesary. Time flies when you’re having fun.

Thanks to everybody for reading PopCult all this time.
