Still another Saturday morning linkdump.

* This is my favorite MetaFilter post in a while, with tons of links all about the history of stick-figure icons, non-literacy information signs, and Helvetica Man.

* Also at MeFi: all about Herb & Dorothy Vogel, art collectors.

* Favorite last lines from science fiction novels. Hard, I think, to top "Poo-tee-weet?"

* Know your meme.

A related group, Warning Signs, is something I've linked to before, but it too is awesome.





Aficionados should refer to "Signs of Life" in their copies of Backwards City #2 for more sign-related hijinx. I could put it online, but I feel weird about it; I don't live there anymore.
