The dopest accounts receivable supervisor in the world is dead at 34. > **[The Onion | America's Finest News Source.](https://www.theonion.com/)** > > The Onion brings you all of the latest news, stories, photos, videos and more from America's finest news source. I just hope that Jim Anchower keeps himself alive. I’m a little worried about him. It sure has been a long while since he rapped at us. ---

☹ I hope Jim didn’t do it in the mistaken belief that accountants have a lot of money. ---

Tha H-Dawg is dead?!? Damn. They just had the latest from him last week, first in ages. He was the only one of those regular Onion characters I found funny. I hope reports of his death are greatly exaggerated. ---

Peace out, H-Dawg. I loved this guy, but it was probably time for his demise. You don’t show off mad accountin’ skeelz like his without making a few enemies. I hope Smoove B sticks around a little longer. ---

Wow. I was pumped to see his first new column in some time last week. I don’t think they did enough with Herbert. Jean Teasdale and Smoove B were far more productive. Herbert did a few columns when he first hit the scene, then got mad quiet. There was a hint that he’s being replaced by an up-and-coming accountant. Will he continue his legacy, or is he a Myron stooge? We’ll see, hopefully… ---

_ **Item!** _ Word on the street next to mine is that Spiderman himself, **Cody McGwire** is being tapped to play the late, great Herbert Kornfield in an upcoming **Hallmark Network** bioflick. And I can’t wait! Rest in peace brother Herbert. I never met you, yet I still consider you my brother, but not in the racist sense.
