    RR Anderson is one of the greatest citizens in the history of Tacoma… as is Tim Smith. Simply amazing we have two people of such incredible caliber in our tumble-down town.

  • Point.Dexter November 23, 2010

    Huh?

  • RR Anderson November 23, 2010

    RR Anderson is also willing to accept honorary doctorates from any REPUTABLE learning institution.

    RR Anderson is unsure if his cartoons or “GLORIOUS ART” moves Tacoma forward as much as it stumbles Tacoma around in an endless circle.

    humbly, RR Anderson appreciates comment #1

    isn’t the circle considered like the most perfect thing? i mean, most bodies in the universe move in one. though i am sure tacomas is more like a comets path.

    smith took a few shots at the nwdc from the top floor of a depository. but he probably already has destiny awards for that one.

  • Argh! Argh! Anderson November 23, 2010

    Mr. Smith dares to keep the fire of ‘the impossible dream’ alive in these times of war, darkness and torture.

    We’re lucky to have him. As gandalf would say, there is still hope left in the race of men.

    Low Bar:
    Just because it isn’t done in the public eye doesn’t mean significant things aren’t being done… in fact, I’d venture to say the most important actions have been done stealthily and unselfishly behind the scenes though peons like you and I will probably never know the details. Or, do share: what incredible activism have YOU attempted lately?

  • Daniel November 23, 2010

    I really resent any implication, intended or not, that i might be a misreared idiot. My parents did an ok job.

    I asked Mr. Smith if he’d write some articles for us about history and south Tacoma. I am still hoping he’ll find time to soon!

    meanwhile, I’m going to do other things i think are cool, but that really aren’t.

  • JJ November 24, 2010

    It’s a hard choice really between RR Anderson and Robert Jesse Hill.
    Both of them deserve the award.

  • Johnson's Dog November 24, 2010

    Oh, fer sure, JJ.

    Robert / Jesse / “The Traveller” Hill needs to be hailed somehow in the historic retelling of Tacoma… which is best done by RR Anderson.

    City of Dysentery? I always thought it was City of Density. Ya learn something new every day.
