I ran across this post in the Cartoon Cave by Pete Emslie. What a nice birthday greeting for Jim, huh? Not to mention that wonderful sketch! I have Pete's birthday page for Jim from last year on this blog, but you can just follow Pete's link below. Well worth a click!

Thanks for your nice comments over on my blog, Suzanne. It's wonderful to see an entire tribute site to James Garner here in the blogosphere! I'll keep your site bookmarked and check in on it from time to time. Of course, I'm just passing through here on my way to Australia.... :)
