Garfield, Batman and the joy of Bubba Gump Shrimp Co.
The Cartoon Art Museum is one of the all-time non-profit survival stories, moving several times since it opened in 1987.

Total SF co-host Peter Hartlaub sits down with museum curator Andrew Farago, to talk about Garfield, Mark Hamill, Batman, Peanuts, eating at Bubba Gump's Shrimp House and the underrated power of San Francisco as a cartooning powerhouse.
