My Dad and my uncle had a C gas dragster that my Dad raced and my uncle was the head mechanic for. I grew up in the pits as they won world and speed records. My Dad got out of it years ago, but my uncle and his son, Dean, still go out on the road, though now they have better cars. Unfortunately a friend, Mark Niver, just died in a race in Seattle. I hope the last thing he saw was his win light. All of our thoughts go out to his family.

Harvey Pekar, that difficult file clerk from Cleveland who was a fond subject of Robert Crumb's for decades, has passed on after 70 years of frustration. RIP.
After 21 years I finally had to put my cat, D.O.G., down. She was a good cat, putting up with everything from Dave getting her shaved with a mohawk to being the center of our Christmas DVDs. I'm sure that now she's in Kitty Heaven where there are tuna trees and the rivers run with milk. I will miss her.

Andrew Koenig has been found in the woods of Vancouver, dead by his own hand. While I was never a fan of Growing Pains, Koenig portrayed the best Joker I have ever seen in Batman: Dead End, totally nailing the Joker I had in my head from all the Batman comics I read growing up. RIP.
