Him? Really? Is he funny or something?

Today two people asked Lain Shakespeare to autograph the copies of the Brer Rabbit tales they bought.
Just to reiterate, this person, this person right here, was asked to autograph something.
This autographing business is not an unusual occurrence here at the Nest. Lain’s brand of celebrity appeals to a very specific segment of the population; luckily, it overlaps directly with the folks who come to a house museum devoted to Joel Chandler Harris.
Now, there’s no question I’m a fan of Lain Shakespeare. He gets a firm “pretty good” rating in my book. And I ask him to sign stuff all the time, like my paychecks.
So is this a new trend I’m missing? The autographs of people 3 generations removed? Somebody fill me in.
