| Nathan Blamburg, reading the Daily News, napkin in collar, ready for his 11AM Clam Chowder. NOTE: this is his lunch napkin, but ZAG stees see no meal-time imperative when busting a napkin-neck. Plaids, ginghams, lacey intitialed joints, baby bibs. You should see the scene at a company picnic, it's worse than the Easter Parade. |

| Blamburg pioneered the napkin-in-collar style after seeing Wally Walrus pull it off in a Woody Woodpecker cartoon. Blamburg's co-workers at the Candy Factory all started to follow suit. It caught on as a symbol of lunch, liesure, and a way to show off your napkin collection. "Ties, Shmies," said Blamburg, "I'm more into Apple Pies. And I'm ready to spill some on my shirt." Some Z-people even wear a "dress napkin" but will still rock a utility "meal napkin" over it when it's time to slobber down on some Sloppy Joe. Blamburg, age 103, still works part time at the Candy Factory. |
