Washington Post cartoonist Nick Galifianakis was the guest of honor Tuesday night at Lincoln, a soon-to-be-opened restaurant on McPherson Square. The occasion was Galifianakis' latest book of cartoons, titled "If You Loved Me, You'd Think This Was Cute: Uncomfortably True Cartoons About You."

Galifianakis illustrates the relationship column written by Carolyn Hax, who also happens to be his ex-wife. "I have such great respect for Carolyn that it's fun to illustrate these columns, contrary to what people might think," the author said. "These issues are universal, so the advice element, and the cartoons, are much bigger than either of us."
