Heads up: After you hit "post" things may be slow and you may get an error. Most likely, your comment did post. Apologies. I'm looking for a fix.

Someone should tell the Library of Virginia that those aren't mastheads.

These are great. And Mark, surely you'll add a couple of the mottos to the ones you run in your flag. My favorites:

"A chap's among you takin' notes, and, faith, he'll print 'em!" The Free-Lance (Norfolk, Va.)

"This is published to prevent false reports." The Present State of the New-English Affairs (Boston)

Hey the first skybox ever?, The Daily Progress (Charlottesville, Va.), "Victory Day" edition celebrating the surrender of Nazi forces (circa 1945). Let's sue for visual copyright infringement.
(I'm kidding by the way)
