I just spent a part of my Saturday with Norma Duffy Lyon, as you'll see from my posting. We could probably easily arrange for you to get a photo of the Brandon Routh sculpture. Duffy has actually achieved some ironic degree of pop folk superhero status herself well beyond the confines of Iowa "fly-over" country. Whlle she has indeed made life-sized sculptures out of butter for nearly 50 years at the Iowa State Fair, she's also been featured on everything from NBC's "Today" show and David Letterman to "To Tell The Truth" way back in the 60s. It was during that first television appearance some 40 years ago that regular guest panelist Kitty Carlisle Hart correctly guessed who she was after asking, "Which type of cow is the only one to have brown eyes?" Duffy Lyon answered, "Jerseys." The best thing about Duffy Lyon is that she'd probably get a kick out of your column! Maybe if you provide your likeness, she'd even memorialize you in butter!

(My wife remembers him telling an anecdote about making corn dogs or something...) So, fine, it's a native son's homecoming in butter. I still want the Minnesota State Fair to step up! ;-) --ATK My wife reminded me that not only is Brandon Routh an Iowa native, but also worked at the Iowa State Fair for a few summers as a kid.

But, more specifically as a ex-Minnesotan (and devotee of the *Minnesota* State Fair), I hope this inspires some Minnesotan butter-carver to an even greater project! Come on, folks! Our dairy neighbors to the south are doing Superman! What you got? ;-) --ATK As a comics fan and a ex-Midwesterner, I love this.
