Prior was great.

I've missed him for afew years now, but I guess any hope for a last few words have now been dashed.

Some great films (Superman III not being one of them) and those excellent stand-up comedy shows and albums are a fine legacy.

He truly changed the face of black comedy.

<Sigh>

THIS kind of obituary is what makes you realize you're getting old and mortality is real.

RIP, Al Lewis, you dirty old man, you!

You were the CLOSEST person to a real-life Krusty the Klown that I've known of in my comparatively short life.

95? Sheesh! We should all live so long!

Oh, that IS disgusting. How can someone be capable of doing something so sick??

Okay...I'm going to be flippant about a hideous event and the death of a human being, so excuse me, but...

Isn't this taking publicity stunts too far?

Sorry...flippant mode off...it's a cruel loss.

LOL

poor guy... however, this does increase the potential at the Box Office for Curious George! Increase the advertising!

Are you sure??? How many of you have actuall heard this little tidbit outside of this site??? I know I haven't and I'm an avid news follower. Can't capitalize on a story if nobody ever pulishes it.

No, it's legit:

What's interesting is that I haven't seen anything about this death in the newspaper. I wonder why.

Post by **Brandon Neeld** » February 13th, 2006, 9:23 pm

That's my point - I'm sure it's legit but because nobody's talking about it it will have no effect on the movie's marketability

Alex Toth, the illustrator, comic artist, and animation character designer, passed away on Saturday, May 27 as he sat at his drawing table. His work on such classic television cartoons as the Superfriends, Space Ghost, Birdman, and the Herculoids, defined the 1970's superhero aesthetic for an entire generation.
