I don't have as strong an urge to re-watch it as I do, say - from the same era - Get Smart, but I certainly enjoyed Gilligan's Island as a kid and have no doubt I'd still be able to enjy it to some degree today. As for Mary Anne vs Ginger, they were both great: as a kid I probably preferred Mary Anne but now I must admit I'd probably lean more towards Ginger ... er, if she let me.

Novelist Eric Jerome Dickey has passed away.Dickey was one of the leading African-American writers of fiction, with stories that ranged from romance and erotica to suspense. He was one of the early leading voices in contemporary fiction, from an African-American point of view, along with Terry McMillan. He was noted for his strong female characters, which resonated with his audience and gave them models that they didn't find in other media.

Ah man, Dickey's voice will be missed. He even wrote a 6 issue Storm mini-series for Marvel back in 2006. -M

RIP to former Marvel publisher Mike Hobson, who passed in November, but I missed the news. Marvel is publishing a tribute to him in their upcoming releases. -M

R. I. P. to country singer-songwriter Ed Bruce. Probably best known for writing "Mama's Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys," which Bruce recorded before Waylon & Willie made it a hit. He also wrote and recorded "The Last Cowboy Song." A great songwriter and an underrated performer.

For the CBR old-timers, particularly those who posted on the Comm Board, Fabian Mendez, who posted as Fabian, has passed away. I hadn’t kept in touch with him after the CBR blow-up, but there is a GoFundMe started by his Mom.
He was a fun guy. And way too young.

Just found out that Belgian artist William Tai died in December from injuries sustained during a house fire. He will, I guess, be best remembered for the The Archie Cash and Cupidon strips. Two very different types of strip drawn in two completely different but distinctive styles. I'll miss Cupidon. It was a sweet and gentle strip and made me laugh.
