Strange de Jim

[gridlore]

In the immortal Herb Caen column (which was fought over at my house each morning, the cry "who has Herb Caen?" rang out often) the oddest and most frequent source of items was Strange de Jim. Never identified, doing interviews with a pillow case over his head, his quips greatly influenced my sense of humor.

There's an article about him on SFgate. This site has some of Strange's greatest hits. For more about Herb, the man who ran the city from his Loyal Royal typewriter, see this site.
