Farrah Fawcett's famous red swimsuit, worn in the 1976 poster that shot her to superstardom, was donated to the Smithsonian. The museum will feature a pop-culture memorabilia display over the summer in which the swimsuit will be included, along with a Farrah Fawcett doll and a collection of Charlie's Angels first-season scripts.
The 1976 poster is the best-selling of all-time, and became iconic of 1970's American pop-culture. The memorabilia was presented to the Smithsonian by Fawcett's surviving family, including Ryan O'Neal and the couple's son. Fawcett herself died in 2009 after an extensive fight with cancer.

Guys, I'm very sorry, but I probably won't be back much until at least next week. I have taxes and bills and errands and everything else to do and obviously just can't get it all done in a handful of days like I'd hoped I could.
I didn't want to write this post, but what can I say? We've got nearly five years' worth of posts in the archives, so please enjoy them until I return! Thanks.

Sorry guys, but I am busy doing the regular bill-paying thing, as well as some larger projects, such as cleaning and taxes. Yes, taxes. I should be able to get at least something out to you today, though I know many of you will be busy reading new comics, and should return to regular posting later this week or next. I would have written sooner, but I really didn't think all of this was going to take this long.
Thanks!
