His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

I immediately fell in love.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>TEPCO dishes are ceramic, dense and glossy; the types of dishes you might find at a diner. From 1930 to 1968, TEPCO — the Technical Porcelain and Chinaware Company — made dishes like these out of their factory in El Cerrito, north of Berkeley. And though they look pretty ordinary, TEPCO dishes are actually really meaningful to a small band of collectors all over California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sandi Genser-Maack and her husband, Lynn Maack, are TEPCO collectors. For years, they’ve been scouring flea markets and estate sales, in search of these heavy, kitschy dishes. Sandi remembers when she and Lynn scored a rare TEPCO find.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We always go antiquing wherever we go. And way down low, in a cabinet where you could hardly see were two Doggie Diner mugs! We bought them, and we were so excited we were quivering,” Sandi says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sandi and Lynn have an outdoor shed filled with TEPCO dishes.

TEPCO was El Cerrito’s biggest employer. Hundreds of people worked at the factory, making tens of thousands of pieces of pottery every day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>TEPCO was founded in 1930 by Italian immigrant John Pagliero. He started out making porcelain kitchen appliances, like toilets and sinks. But Pagliero realized he could do a lot more business by selling everyday items, like plates and cups.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pagliero made a name for himself as a great salesman, and TEPCO dishes were everywhere. Local Bay Area restaurants like Louie’s Restaurant Club, Doggie Diner and Spenger’s Fish Grotto asked Pagliero to create custom designed plates. TEPCO dishes were even used at the Kaiser shipyards. The U.S. Army and Navy used full sets of TEPCO in their mess halls and on their ships.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Local families also used TEPCO dishes in their kitchens. El Cerrito mothers, the story goes, used to tell their kids to bike down to the TEPCO factory to pick up an extra table setting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The factory was going strong, until John Pagliero died in 1968. Tom Panas from the \u003ca href=\"http://www.elcerritohistoricalsociety.org/\">El Cerrito Historical Society\u003c/a> says rumor has it that the family was squabbling over who would take over. And, at the same time, El Cerrito was changing, becoming more residential. Some neighbors didn’t want to live next to a big, noisy factory. Whatever the reason, the factory closed down in 1968.*\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, all that’s left of the factory is a place affectionately known as TEPCO Beach. Factory workers used to drive the broken plates over to Point Isabel, in Richmond, and dump them along the shoreline.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The porcelain pieces were never cleaned up, and now, multicolored TEPCO shards are piled in a thick layer on top of the sand, mixed in with dried seaweed.

But the day before our interview, he died. He was 101 years old. As TEPCO fans start to disappear, Lynn’s TEPCO collection has taken on even more meaning, a sort of ode to the factory and the people that handmade these dishes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lynn has considered that, to some people, his TEPCO collection is just a set of ugly dishes, nothing more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They’re probably not going to be important to someone else when I’m gone,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But, it’s important to me.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I’ve started collecting TEPCO dishes now. They’re pretty easy to find at flea markets all around California, especially the Alameda Antiques Fair. But I think it’s more fun to see TEPCO dishes in use, in the wild.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Every so often, I sit down to eat at a diner, and think I see a TEPCO plate. I now flip dishes over to check if they have the green TEPCO stamp on the back. They rarely do.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But, I’ll keep flipping dishes over. Because one day, I might find a TEPCO plate.
