@rbreich might be worth putting some alt text on that? Both for accessibility and those of us who aren't American - I think I recognised Bob Ross and Mr Rogers, but have 0 idea who the rest of these people are..

@vfrmedia @rbreich The last one is Bill Nye; but I don’t know the other two.

It would also be good to credit the cartoonist Joe Wos, in case people can’t make out his signature.

@vfrmedia @rbreich Jim Henson in the center (note Kermit puppet on hand)
@vfrmedia @rbreich last one is Bill Nye the science guy. Still alive. I think mide guy is Jim Henson.

@rbreich #altText4you a line of five smiling caricatures of:
Mr. Rogers, with his King puppet;
Bob Ross, holding a palette and a brush with green paint, next to a painting of a smiling tree;
Jim Hanson "hand"ling Kermit the Frog;
Rosco Roman holding a green nametag that says "Gordon" (from Sesame Street) in white letters;
and Bill Nye the science guy holding a viol and a boiling flask in his hands.
Text above and below reads: "THANK YOU PBS", "FOR GIVING US HEROES"
It is signed Joe Wos.

(thank you @vfrmedia, @MartyFouts, @moani, @stellarsarah, and @chantaryu2 for piecing this together)

@rbreich I can’t believe this is happening. PBS has given us amazing shows.
@rbreich
So many of us value PBS and NPR. Federal funding is gone because it's educational besides being entertaining and the Magats don't want us educated. My quiet resistance is treating support of public media just like I do my monthly utility bills. We need to make up the funding gap and fund our values!
@rbreich I'll add "Reading Rainbow" Levar Burton and "The French Chef" Julia Child. I'm sure there are plenty more heroes to add to that list.
