Rick Geary


Here's a cartoonist who also has a series of postcards, Rick Geary.

I didn't know he existed until my friend, Steve, collected these at Comic-con this year and sent them, along with a bunch more postcards, to me.

My favorite is the "Vote Darwin". How can you not love the "Oh Evolve" comment from the chimpanzee?







Rick must be from Carrizozo, a town situated south of Albuquerque, kind of between Albuquerque and Roswell. Try saying that name - it has a wonderful feel as it rolls through your mouth.








And in honor of last week's 20th anniversary of the Loma Prieta earthquake in 1989, a postcard celebrating the earthquake of 1906.















Note: Since the mail isn't delivered on Sundays, I can't post any postcards received that day. Until tomorrow.....

  1. Very nice postcards. But you know, you are lucky, here in Finland the mail is not delivered both Saturdays and Sundays! :)

  2. Isn't Roswell NM where the horse is from that won the Preackness, or was it the Belmont? The trainer had a broken leg and like the true cowboy he is drove his horse from NM to the east coast to compete and win.
