[Pardel-Lux]

Underground Cartoonist Aline Kominsky-Crumb and wife of Robert Crumb, dies at 74. I believe I had him on my list last year, but dropped him this time. Did not think it would have such an effect

Underground Cartoonist Aline Kominsky-Crumb Dies At 74

Pele posts first message since being moved to 'end of life care'

Hang on (till next year). Not a huge number of points but - I haven’t scored this year and my spirits are sagging. I mean it’s terrible to hear and ghoulish to contemplate (delivers sharp slap to own face). “You’re only in it for the points/trophy/dozen cookies.” crisply delivered punch by the good angel on Steve’s right shoulder. Perhaps I should reconsider? Nah, plenty of room in the handbasket.

[Mahaloth]

Bob McGrath from Sesame Street has died at age 90.

Saw some tweets, waiting for a proper citation.

[Stephe96]

Confirmed:

'Sesame Street' Veteran Bob McGrath Dead at 90

[Reeses_Monkey]

Now this one hurts. I had a childhood crush on Bob.

[Dung_Beetle]

My husband and even my kids don’t have a clear idea who he was. But to someone like me, born in 1970, he was a major deal.
I’m only a little sad. I’m sure he had a great life and knew he was part of something wonderful.

[Biotop]

Al Strobel, the One-armed Man from Twin Peaks has died at 83.

Al Strobel

[Gyrate]

@Reeses_Monkey

Emilio Delgado of Sesame Street fame has died. He played Luis. This message brought to you by the letters N and O and the number 81.

@Catamount

NOOOOOOOO! Not Luis! He was my favorite Sesane Street human!

@Gyrate

Bob (“Bob”) McGrath’s still alive, if that helps ease the pain. He’s 89 but still going.

Fun fact I just found out about Bob:

In the mid-1960s, McGrath became a well-known recording artist in Japan, releasing a series of successful albums of Irish and other folk songs and ballads sung in Japanese.

@Mahaloth

Bob McGrath from Sesame Street has died at age 90.

GODDAMMIT.

[Shoeless]

I don’t know if I ever knew that the full name of the one armed man on Twin Peaks was Phillip Michael Gerard, I just remember him as “Mike”. But that’s pretty goddamn funny.

Nick Bollettieri, famed tennis coach, dies aged 91 | CNN

[Mahaloth]

Points for me for Nick Bollettieri!

Kirstie Alley, dead at 71

Kirstie Alley Dead: Star of Cheers Dies at 71 After Short Battle with Cancer

[Mahaloth]

Shocking, had no idea.

[Mahaloth]

Fact about Kirstie Alley:

Her birth last-name was Alley. Her first husband’s last name? Alley. She kept her name during her first marriage.

[Railer13]

@Mahaloth

Fact about Kirstie Alley

She was born in Wichita. Her father’s name was Robert Alley, and he owned a lumberyard, called ‘Buck Alley Lumber.’ He used to advertise heavily on the local TV stations. He was seriously injured in a 1981 auto accident which killed his wife.

Yes, and she married a man named Robert Alley. Same name as her father.

[phungi]

more shocking: no one had Kirstie Alley…
