It occurs to me that there may be those unsure of the heritage to which we so dearly cling. Therefore, I bring you a tautly penned profile featured in Time Out Chicago from 2011 entitled, " Who Is Cecil Adams?. Not only does one peruse the article’s body of text, one might do well to click right through the photos.

Here on display is some of infamous Straight Dope Artiste-In-Residence Slug Signorino’s work. Our Perfect Master, frequently portrayed as a turkey wearing a mortarboard, is depicted.

Quote from Ed in that article.

“Editors will come and go. I’ll get hit by a bus some day, but Cecil will be eternal. That’s all people need to know.”

Poor Ed. Wrong again.

You do realize that upstate from Chicago is probably Kenosha, … Wisconsin.

Nah. Rockford.

Whatza car you drive? Caddy? Ford? Stolen?

Good luck, TubaDiva - you’ll need it in this Cuckoo’s nest.

So you took over July 6 (or is it June 7?) Can you tell me about your predecessor; who, what, how long, how the Boards was during his time?
