Another architect, Raymond Kappe, about a week ago. Wasn't sure how well known he was so I didn't post earlier, but his obit is pretty impressive.

In my younger days I can think of a few Clive James books and shows which had me speechless and dying of laughter at times. He was a bit insufferable of course but I will always love him for that wit. RIP guy.

If you read some of Clive James select wit and most hilarious humour to the cadaver and it can't conceal how funny and impressed it finds it, then it has failed the death test. Tell it to stop playing silly buggers.

lol

PRRRRRRRACATAN!

i wouldn't worry about well knowness on this thread, every cunt that's ever drawn a comic book usually turns up

this is so true.

Tom Lyle is a desperate reach for well-knownness, but three drawing cunts a week drop off the twig irl, vs the three all year itt

Obv sic I think every ilxor should be free to decide who is notable, I just like being mean about comics people unless they did The Victor

Back to John Simon for a minute:
