The New Ray Bradbury Statue

Ray Bradbury was born in Waukegan, Illinois and that town 55 miles north of Chicago is hoping to erect a statue of the famous writer to honor him. Mr. Bradbury of course has an interesting connection to the comics world, as I first told you over here.

I like the design of the statue and, if you'll pardon my creation of a new adjective, I find it wonderfully Strangeloveian. Of course everyone remembers the Dr. Strangelove scene in which actor Slim Pickens rides the dropped bomb!
