With special guest stars WSHS Director David "Hannibal" Nicandri and City Preservation Officer Michael "Face" Sullivan! What can be said that hasn't been covered in this most excellent strip by official C.L.A.W. historian The Jinx Medic ? Now is the time for mindless ACTION ADVENTURE AND MILD TEE-VEE FANTASY VIOLENCE! This entire strip was inspired in large part by this photograph. SEE ALSO Dan Rahe's (aka CaptiveYak) exit133.com call to action there are some fun comments. I like the sad teddy bear and blood libel.

I like museum's to be silent and unchanging. At the old WSHM I never got tired of staring at the stuffed cougar. See: You Tube-Traffic-Paper Sun. |

Michael Sean Sullivan SAYS... I think RR is about the quickest quipper Tacoma has ever had and we are better off for his work. I also wonder if I will ever escape that attempted bit of humor about talking to by broker while commenting on a blog. IT WAS A JOKE! Being an itinerate historian for a living doesn't exactly set you up for a fat stock portfolio. January 18 at 6:22pm |
by The Jinxmedic on 1/25/2011 @ 6:07am | Tell me about it. |
 by Dave_L on 1/25/2011 @ 12:25pm | Nice installment. Marty, I have to get back that Seattle Weekly so I can show RR his ca. 1991 "owlish" photo! (JK. I'm not one to talk about photos.) I think it's been a while since Michael was an officer, though. Fitting to have a good storyteller appear in the strip - you should hear his talk on the Washington Building Scandinavian-American Bank. |

by NineInchNachos on 2/2/2011 @ 9:55am | Rep. Jeannie Darneille has a different angle on trying to keep the museum alive. The museum needs money; the University of Washington Tacoma needs more space for classrooms, parking and a student union.
The museum could offer space for a growing campus, said Darneille, a Tacoma Democrat. Read more: www.thenewstribune.com/2011/02/02/152681... |
by NineInchNachos on 2/2/2011 @ 9:55am | also, my people are in talks with Rep. Jeannie Darneille for purchase of this cartoon.
STAY TUNED! |
 by Crenshaw Sepulveda on 2/2/2011 @ 9:59am | I'm with Rep Darneille. What a brilliant idea. I think if the museum moved back to the old stadium district location (and took their fence with them) it really wouldn't skip a beat.
It is good to know your work is gracing the walls of some of Tacoma's most famous and infamous. |
by The Jinxmedic on 2/2/2011 @ 10:12am | Keep the new (WSHM) museum where it is, make greater multi-use of the common areas and ancillary galleries to increase institution revenues, work a partnership with UWT for use of the WSHM auditorium for specific lectures, increase the amount of material culture on exhibit in the existing storyline model, and install a seperate, but permanent, Wunderkammer gallery. The WSHM is a major asset to the city's warehouse/Union Station district revitalization, and will be midway (along with TAM and MOG) in the Link's museum/entertainment route with McMennamin's on one end, and LeMay on the other. All they really need to do for right now is to take down that dang fence. |
by NineInchNachos on 2/2/2011 @ 10:58am | correction: take down the fence and build the Wunderkammer display :)
any folks out there see any movement on those mystery pavers by the fence? |
by The Jinxmedic on 2/2/2011 @ 2:02pm | At least they brought Ankh the mummy back out on (temporary) exhibit- he has been "under wraps", so to speak, since 1987. That's certainly a step in the right direction! |
by NineInchNachos on 2/2/2011 @ 3:26pm | They must read O&J ! |
by The Jinxmedic on 2/2/2011 @ 3:30pm | I certainly hope so....
Mr Nicandri- I am available for consultation on the Wunderkammer idea, as well! |
by NineInchNachos on 2/2/2011 @ 3:30pm | also the timing of the Egyptian Revolution couldn't be better for this mummy exhibit! |
by NineInchNachos on 3/1/2011 @ 9:12am | what the people see in real life.
 |
by Mofo from the Hood on 3/1/2011 @ 9:25am | Yeah, this WSHM interior photo confirms my belief that most of the junk on display might tell a story, but the juxapostion of images is way too much confusion to sort out out in any form that corresponds to reality. |
by NineInchNachos on 3/1/2011 @ 9:33am | all I see is an ox cart standing on rail road tracks. |
by The Jinxmedic on 3/1/2011 @ 9:53am | The Storyline, as much as I deride it for the dearth of material culture on display (which could be easily corrected), really is an effective way to educate visitors unfamiliar with the history of the state. However, the historical revisionism political correctness is a bit like listening to NPR- there's a good story there, you just have to know what parts to tune out... Seriously though, you might try a photo or two from a different part of the storyline gallery, perhaps of the beige people- it might be more engaging:    And the model railroad is very captivating. I can watch the trains go around for hours.  |
by NineInchNachos on 3/1/2011 @ 9:56am | gah! |
 by fredo on 3/1/2011 @ 10:00am | I've distilled the museum message down to this:
White men have ruined the world in general and the state of Washington in particular, there is no other truth and no absolution for their misdeeds. |
by The Jinxmedic on 3/1/2011 @ 10:13am | Don't bother me- I'm watching the trains. |
by NineInchNachos on 3/1/2011 @ 10:26am | the revisionist NPR agenda is trying to disguise the land-grabbing viciousness of white people by depicting them as 'beige' ? |
by The Jinxmedic on 3/1/2011 @ 10:31am | I said I was watching the trains. I can't hear you. |
