RIP Sal Buscema, legendary Marvel Comics artist. Today would have been his 90th birthday, but he died on Friday, thereby providing 11 points to me and, I assume, me alone

Sooo? Where were you on Friday between the hours of …? 
Robert Croft, Navy free-diver who would become the first person to dive below 200 feet while holding his breath and would later eclipse his own record which still stands today at 240 feet down.
Also,
The namesake inspiration for James Bond died back in 1989, now Blofeld’s namesake is also dead:
I think he might break his record.

Singer Ray-J (he of sex tape with Kim Kardashian fame) claims that he has “months to live.”
Gladys has gone West. We can probably blame the enshittification of Google maps for her current state.
José Antonio Martínez de Sousa, the Spanish autority for all things related to typography and book design has died aged 93.
Link in Spanish, of course. He has a wikipage too, but not in English either.
Is it time to start my 2027 list already?
Am I the only old bastard who hears, “Ray-J” and immediately thinks of Raymond J. Johnson Jr?
Nope, you’re not the only one.
Bill Saluga died in 2023. I wonder if anybody got points for him?
I’ve already made a note.
I have already made several notes and am afraid more “notes” are going to score than in the submitted list. So far it is going well, though.
Probably not. It looks like Borborygmi had him on the 2021 list (and the previous year) but there’s no mention of him after that that I found.
The Final Crash of Icarus??? Ralph Towner 1/18/2026. I hope we learn otherwise…
Oh no!!!
That’s so sad.
That sucks. I just watched Best In Show again recently.
I’ve never seen that yet. I loved her on SCTV.
Best In Show and Waiting for Guffman are two of her better works, in my opinion. Truly great stuff.
