Thank You (From The Peanut Gallery)

On behalf of the amazing Benita Epstein (and yours truly), I would like to thank everyone who stopped by the “Cartoonist’s Table” to make a donation to our favorite local charities last night. We managed to pawn off quite a few silly drawings on an unsuspecting public and had a lot of fun in the process. I didn’t get a chance to count it, but there was some serious cabbage in our “tip bottles” — I know the Shasta Women’s Refuge and the People of Progress are grateful for your generosity.

Last night’s benefit celebrating Food for Thought: A News Café’s first birthday once again proved that the North State is inhabited by some of the kindest, most caring and wonderful neighbors anyone could hope to have. Thanks again to our readers, contributors and (especially) our advertisers for making last night one to remember.

See you next year!

Phil Fountain

Phil Fountain is a pseudonym for ANC’s prodigal cartoonist, Philbert Phountain, who has recently returned from a working hiatus where he served as the lead fact-checker for George Santos. He lives in Shasta County with his long-suffering wife, Christine, as well as a variety of layabouts and urchins who claim to be his progeny … including three grandchildren. He busies himself with his crayons and obsessing over the fate of his favorite baseball team while a small dog sleeps under his desk. He’s actually not such a bad guy as evidenced by the fact the dog rarely bites him anymore. Look for his crudely rendered drawings in future posts on A News Café.
