I adore you. Tell him if you must, I no longer care. I mean to have you even if it must be burglary.

To me he is Henry Crabbe, because I have the complete Pie in the Sky on DVD, and I'm slowly going through it. So sad to hear he passed away. He was the same age as me. I feel old age slowly creeping up on me...  :(

I've read that comic book artist Carmine Infantino also died today.  He worked for many years at DC Comics and is best known for his work on The Flash.  He later became art director for the company and was also the publisher for a time.
