There’s been a lot of coverage surrounding the MU event for the Beetle Bailey postage stamp held on Friday. Here’s some photos from the event that I took:

At the event, Mort Walker’s assistant Bill Janocha said that Walker should be back in October to celebrate the opening of Morts Place and the new Shack that will be attached to the new Brady Commons. The Missourian has a story with a graphic of where the new hangout will be located.

- Video of Mort talking about the origins of Beetle
