Well, the answer to both those things is yes.

And pretty soon, you can be too, because I'm happy to say that this illustrious exhibit is about to go on tour.

You may remember that last year, in an effort to help museums that were struggling due to the pandemic, we asked museums across the United States if they would be interested in hosting these masterpieces that we accumulated in the course of what was a very weird year.

So, over the next few months, our collection will be visiting exactly 5 museums, each of which, I'm happy to say, will receive a $10,000 donation from us and, as a bonus, will also donate another $10,000 to a food bank in their area.

So, should you be interested in visiting our exhibit, what exactly will you see?

Well, you will find this magnificent picture of Wendy Williams eating a lamb chop.

You'll also find this sad tie, painted by Judith Cudlow as part of a series exploring the absence of her husband, Larry.

And of course, our piece de resistance, and where our collection began, Stay Up Late, a study of rat friendship, which really has to be seen in person to be fully appreciated.

We're headed to the Museum of Broadcast Communications in Chicago for the month of October, the American Visionary Art Museum in Baltimore this November, the William V.

Banks Broadcast Museum and Media Center in Detroit this December, and the Cartoon Arts Museum in San Francisco this coming January.

But before all of that, the tour begins where else but the Judy Garland Museum in Minnesota.

These works will be on view there in September, as I'm just going to assume Judy would have wanted.

You may remember that last year, in an effort to help museums that were struggling due to the pandemic, we asked museums across the United States if they would be interested in hosting these masterpieces that we accumulated in the course of what was a very weird year. Well, for some reason, many agreed.

Just look at the brush strokes there. It's like if Monet had a furry period. So, here are the tour dates.
