1980s. “Tomie dePaola on Parade,” Tracy Memorial Library’s float for New London’s Hospital Days Parade.
Tomie was Grand Marshal of the Parade in 2018.
He expected to be escorted in a convertible, but instead his chariot was an enormous Suburban. When he sat in it, you could barely see his head.
Yet, Tomie was not about to let an opportunity such as this swallow him up. He propped himself up and hung out of the window to achieve maximum exposure.
He had a lot of fun acting the Grand Marshal. (Bob)

An Orderly Transition would be nice, too.
