Welcome to this twice-monthly feature series where I spotlight a fellow Peorian on MBIP. This is the second edition of this series, if you missed the first one, you can click here and catch up.
Today’s Semi-Monthly Peorian is a gentlemen who contacted me via facecrack and volunteered to be a guest here. I liked that, so we set up a meeting at Acme Comics. And so...away we go to meet this fellow who will soon be put under the MBIP spotlight!
Here we are at Acme Comics, a familiar stop here at MBIP, for those of you who are regular readers.
Let's go in and find this week's Semi-Monthly Peorian!
There's a face that we all know around here...
Bob Gordon, the owner of Acme and an MBIP pal and a Contributing Writer for this blog.
As I started to look for this week's Semi-Monthly star, I happened upon a "Separated At Birth" moment and thought I had bumped into Ray Romano, but it turned out to be Steve Hutton, who said a lot of people tell him that he looks like the "Everyone Loves Raymond," star.
Okay, I don't think this is the guy I'm looking for, but I appreciate the fact that he's adhering to the rules and not wearing a hat.
Hmmm...could this be the guy we're looking for, let's tap him on the shoulder and find out.
