Iconic hero.
This is the drawing Lars drew for the Gates of Vienna, that I helped facilitate a few years ago when I interviewed him in Stockholm, a day after his “Dogs Musical”, which was an integral part of his “A Day For Free Speech” event. Lars is a consitant promoter of free speech, he deserves all of our thanks.
