    Yes, I *know*..."Howard WHO?"

    But maybe not, not from you...


    A predecessor and big-time idol of mine from The Golden Age of The Comics & Animation.

    He gave the world masterworks featuring Casper, The Friendly Ghost, Wendy, The Good Little Witch, Spooky, The Tuff Little Ghost, as well as his own creations Angel and the Ape, Anthro, The Dropouts, and a host of other masterpieces.

    I only got word of this from a pal that I just went to visit in Hertfordshire this evening (It's now 0300 and we are watching the WGN Chicago news via satellite...)

    I'm gonna contact TED RALLS at United Feature Syndicate to see if he can find it in his heart to issue a (LONG overdue, IMO) anthology of "The Dropouts" 1960's-1970's comic strip, as a tribute to Post....


    I observe 5 minutes of silence in honour of his memory.


    Howie Post, R.I.P.
