RIPs

[Bat King]

Stuntman, Actor, Dancer and Rodeo Star Chief David Bald Eagle.

His life story would make an interesting film.

Legendary Mad Magazine artist Jack Davies  aged 91 - he did a lot of their movie parodies and was an absolutely brilliant caricaturist. It's quite a long while since I regularly read Mad, but I'd always recognize his work

[IAMTHESYSTEM]

What a instantly recognizable art style Jack Davis had. Very sorry to hear he's passed away. 

[Hawkmumbler]

Jack Davis was one of those instantly recognizable artists I sadly never owned any material off, beyond a variant copy for The Goon #50, a wonderfully fitting double act!

Jerry Doyle of Babylon 5 has passed away aged 60

[Zarjazzer]

oh no. I loved B5. 60? Not really a great age nowadays. Damn.

Jerry Doyle of Babylon 5 has passed away aged 60

Sad news indeed! 

Am I right in thinking he was battling alcoholism?

60's way too young, man!

[The Legendary Shark]

I never knew he was a libertarian. Only knew him from B5 and was waiting for him to co-star as Bruce Willis's brother in some Hollywood blockbuster. Damned shame.

After Londo and G'Kar, Garibaldi was the best character on Babylon 5 by some margin. Sorry to hear the news about Jerry Doyle, B5 cast members have had a pretty awful time of it. Andreas Katsulas, Richard Biggs, Michael O'Hare, Jeff Conaway, Tim Choate, now Doyle, all gone too young.

[Ghost MacRoth]

Garibaldi was always my favorite, as his flaws I could relate to so well.  A great character, a damn fine actor, and I don't doubt, a decent geezer.

Jerry Doyle of Babylon 5 has passed away aged 60

Well that just takes the biscuit.




Sorry (not sorry)

Gaspar Saladino, probably most immediately identifiable to members of this parish as the letterer of Morrison & McKean's Arkham Asylum, but a prolific talent stretching back over any decades and long-venerated in his field as the letterer's letterer. By all accounts, a modest and charming man into the bargain.

I'm ashamed to say I didn't know his name before, but his work on Arkham Asylum is the best comic lettering I've ever seen.  You can just hear the Joker's manic screech and Maxie Zeus's electric buzz before you even read what they say. Amazing stuf. RIP

Kenny Baker aka R2-D2 aged 83.

[Colin YNWA]

That's very sad. He was also in the wonderful Time Bandits and any number of cool films from the 80s (and after).
