I've been meaning to let you guys @ Chesterton and Friends know a couple things:
1) A while ago you mentioned Neil Gaiman using GKC in Sandman - I got a small scan of a few panels here:

2) I've not managed to post about this myself, but Simpsons artist Luis Escobar did a cartoon of GKC/Uncle Chestnut on his blog: http://www.luisescobarblog.com/?p=334
The Gaiman/Sandman posts referred to are GK Comics in 2005 and GK and the Sandman in 2006. Aeons ago on a blog timeline. How wonderful that these bubbles can rise to the surface when someone gets the hankering to google.
"Uncle Chestnut" received a thumbs up from my 11 year old son. I greatly enjoyed it myself, and will post a review shortly.
Thanks for your good work, Paul!
Thanks to this blog, I was able to track down where "Gilbert" was in the epic that is Sandman.
