But wait...

That's a lot to celebrate!

So
ANOTHER 
good friend
had a party for them at the
BUSHMILLER MUSEUM 
AND 
RESEARCH LIBRARY

Which is really just a fancy name
for the home of


Mr. Gammill
rocks beyond words.
He's been a producer on 
The Simpsons 
since 1999.

He's written many an episode of
Seinfeld and written for Saturday Night Live,
David Letterman and Steve Martin.
He's also very involved in
The National Cartoonist Society 
and has a comic strip called 
The Doozies.

So yeah.

He funny.


And yeah.
He's probably the biggest
fan in existence.

He has an entire room
dedicated to the man and his work,
primarily Nancy




He even has the guy's
driver's license:


Mr. Gammill also has a 
tongue-in-cheek
museum tucked away 
in a corner:






He even made this handy video about it:


Anyway,
it was a great party for
the medal winners:


Also in attendance were
Lisa Yee,
animator/author
Bob Boyle, 
with Adventure Time artist 
Teri Shikasho,
cartoonist Matthew Diffee and his wife
and 
Mr. Gammill's writing partner
Max Pross and his wife.
And of course,
the fabulous and stylish

Tom's unbelievable wife Sandy
made an unbelievable dinner
and then we
TOTALLY
drew all over the tables.

But we'll tell you about that next time!
