It can't be five years

I had planned on mentioning LTSGW's 3rd anniversary this week (May 1st), but when I double-checked just to be sure, it turned out to be the end of the 5th year! How in the world did that happen? But sure enough, the first entry was May 1, 2007. Geeeesh!

Here's my first attempt at a visual commentary/cartoon based on these books.
