Damn You, Bob Denver!
January 15, 2009
Even though I'm writing this at 6:20am, I'm telling myself I technically kept my promise to myself
about midnight updates because, well, I did have a strip up at midnight. Just not quite the one you see above.
Basically, I was working on strips yesterday and read about Patrick McGoohan and Ricardo Montalban both died. I immediately thought of a strip I through was pretty
decent. You can read it here.
Did ya read it? Good. I was pretty proud of that strip and, right after I posted it, I showed it to my friend Amber. She, however, told me there was a slight
problem with the strip. I opened Photoshop and prepared to fix a typo of 20.
"Bob Denver's been dead for a few years," she told me.
... Son of a bitch. Yup - Dennver died in 2005. I guess it's good that I've had other things to do than keep tabs on the cast of a bad sixties sitcom, but
still it was very inconvenient of Mr. Denver to die before I was ready to make a proper joke and you can bet he'll be getting a terse letter from me!
