R.I.P. Bob Asprin - Feinan - 05-23-2008
Sad news today. Apparently Bob Asprin passed away on Thursday. He was scheduled to be the GOH at Marcon this weekend.
*sighs* That No More Dying memo didn't get passed along, it appears. Another one gone. Time to go dig out the Myth-Adventure books again. And he'd
just started what was the first in what appeared to be a new series that was pretty good, too. Gonna miss him.

Oh man... I remember him from Cons back in the 80s. He seemed like a fun guy.

Ah, geeze.
I can't really articulate my feelings any better than that right now.
Just, geeze.

That is too bad, he was a prolific and highly enjoyable author/editor.

Requiet in Piece, Robert Asprin.

Aw, clot.
Somebody find that fantasy-hating bastard with the Death Note and kill him! Now!

Aw, man... another one of my childhood (teenaged, adult) heroes gone.
I grew up on Asprin. I still have the very first Myth book I ever had, a Starblaze edition with the Foglio cover, signed by Asprin, that my mom gave to me as
a birthday present.
This sucks.
We'll miss you, man.
