Today’s fun was for me and Joanne to drive to the City, to the de Young museum, to view the exhibit “Art of Manga“, and then to have lunch. Which we did, and it was very pleasant. The manga art is impressive but viewing acres of pen-and-ink cartoons with speech bubbles in Japanese, got a little wearing. Here’s a panorama of two of the 8 rooms, Joanne at extreme left.
I was disappointed that the artist of the one manga book I have read, Azumanga Daioh, was not represented among the featured artists.
Then we walked a few blocks over to Irving street and had lunch in the Foghorn Taproom. The food was good, and cheap, and we brought home extras for our respective lunches another day. It was cool, the N Judah stops directly in front of the restaurant, so I was watching it come and go from our table. Of course it isn’t green any more, and the wheels don’t shriek going around the bend at 8th, but such is progress.
