It was mentioned here, but that was before you joined, Shiggily.

Big shock for him to die so young. I was expecting him to be around for decades, yet.

Old writers never die, they're just re-published under different names!

I saw it in various places; the radio, magazines, etc.

I'm just bummed about Eartha Kitt...one of the first Catwomen on Batman...

I'm pretty sure they would have mentioned it on the Science channel.

I am in Japan. So I don't get TV. I have to read the news and the only TV I see are regular episodes of TV shows online.
