Straps Ahoy(?)

At the risk of ruining the in-joke, I thought I'd ruin the in-joke by revealing that the below drawings of The Gold State is our homage to Western Truck Exchange, whose mudflaps we Southern Californians have been admiring for over a quarter century. Losanjealous, not entirely incidentally, ran an informative thing about them recently.

I reveal the source of the in-joke as a non-exclusive, populist gesture for the benefit of our out-of-town visitors, as well as in response to the folks who asked what the hell.
