The best hair in comics!!

So unlike last year's event timed with the FF movie release with the "fake" blue and white street sign, this time they are co-naming Essex Street, and NOT Delancy, though this is at the corner of Delancy (and this time with a real NYC-issue street sign). All accounts I'm seeing is that he grew up at 147 Essex, which is one block north. But this co-naming is apparently only from Delancy to Rivington Street one block to the north...missing his childhood home by one block. It would have been better if they had just done the co-naming for the 3 block stretch between Delancy and East Houston Street (another major street in Manhattan which is also the beginning of the numbered street grid - effectively "East 0 Street" - which would have also been fitting for Kirby). That would have actually covered his childhood apartment as well.

Have we met? Because the person in the photo is someone I have met and spent some little time with.
