The photos were taken in John's house but yeah, the chair is in my bedroom now, under a Chris Ware page. It matches the design of the place.

It's a thing of beauty. I'd have to sit in it at least one time. You are blessed to have such a good and creative friend.

The chair is in great company with NC Wyeth over it's right shoulder. Love the look of this, especially since panel pages were used.

Knowing John, that this is so impeccably designed and crafted, I am not at all surprised. It is a thing of beauty though, an a truly cool unique item. Kudos, John. that turned out amazing.

Hey Glen, what a beautiful & heartfelt gift. It reminds me of a restaurant that used to exist in Paddington, an eastern Sydney suburb; nothing special in the dining area, but when you went to the bathroom WOW..Wall to Wall Kirby...comic pages covering everything except the plumbing! Dont think it still exists. Yours is a wonderful testament to what is great.

Hats off to John Butler for imagining such an item.....and to Steve Roden for calling it the King's Throne ;oD. You are a lucky man to have such good friends.

I bet you thought John was going to get you the original artwork, which had those 20 panels in them. Only joking. Wonderful idea. Wonderful execution.
