Ron Smith, seminal 2000ad artist.

We're very sorry to hear that Judge Dredd artist Ron Smith has passed away. From co-creating Chopper to the weird Otto Sump and the wonderful Mayor Dave, he was an incredible artist with a career spanning decades. Our deepest sympathies to his family.

^ whoa, I never put it together that the single mother in Medium Cool, the abandoned wife in The Hired Hand, and the sad lady in the bar in After Hours were all the same actress, let alone that she was also in the likes of Animal House

Joseph Jarman, formerly of the Art Ensemble of Chicago. I saw him with them in 2017 - he got up and read a poem at their NYC show. He seemed pretty frail but not teetering on the edge of the grave. He was 81.

yes. she was/is my wife's favorite poet and one of the very few poets who was able to attract a large and loyal following in an age where perhaps one American in a hundred can name ANY poet who isn't dead already. her poetry ain't bad, neither.

" 'He's a big boy, and very aggressive,' says Chris, lifting his shirt to show off some war wounds.

" 'That's Roger,' he says pointing at one scar. 'That's Roger too. There are another six stitches on my groin. They're Roger.'

'Basically he's just a fighter,' says Chris. 'It's natural for an alpha male. He likes to see the threat go, so will always come out to confront you. If he grabs you, he doesn't let go. You can't get out easily. It's a chokehold. As for a well-placed kick, it can disembowel you.' "

he was such a gentle soul :p
