Sorry Scott, didn't see that and just ran to the celebrity death thread.  I'm glad there's a separate topic for the guy.  Even though it isn't worth much - he earned it.

Sad news.  One of the greats.   :(

It is sad news, but he had a long fruitful life, so although I'm a bit sad, it's still not so bad I guess.  He's left behind some incredible literary works and he will always be reembered.

I may have to watch Back to School again just for the scene(s) he's in.  :)

The site has been closed down with a little front-page tribute in its place...

I hope they open it up at some point, this just inspired me to add to my small collection of his art work.  (I got a signed print of his Good Bye Blue Monday bomb) for Christmas this year...)
