Rob in Indianapolis

I'm blogging from Indianapolis now. Our program on "Native American Portrayals in Comics" at the Eiteljorg Museum went off without a hitch and a good time was had by all. We saw a lot of stereotypical images in comics and said many important things about the medium. In the next few weeks, you'll see articles about the event and pictures of the event, the museum, and downtown Indianapolis.

Incidentally, a local paper called the program the No. 1 top pick for "arts and culture events in Indy this week." It illustrated this choice with the PEACE PARTY mini-poster and labeled the panelists "industry experts." Cool.

So, do they have any Huzo Paddlety Kiowa paintings in that museum? Ain't worth its salt if they don't...

POSTSCRIPTUM -- Omigod, Rob, you missed it! Why aren't you downtown loudly and vociferously lobbying the city government to change its name to NovaMundianapolis? Talk about stereotypical names!!

I didn't see any Paddlety paintings, but I wasn't looking that closely at the labels.

I believe Indiana got its name because it was once considered the Wild West--aka Indian country.
