It's somewhat notable that B.C. cartoonist Johnny Hart passed away the day before Easter, given that his strip had been drawing plenty of controversy for religious messages in recent years -- as it apparently moved away from the "fat broad" jokes and the strangeness of his characters appearing ads for shocks and struts.
Even more intriguing is the Bob Clark obit, considering that while he should be most associated with the now-classic A Christmas Story, his other credits seem oddly out of whack -- Porky's, the Baby Geniuses movies, the original Black Christmas and Rhinestone. In some ways, he should thank TBS and TNT for making sure his primary legacy will be the story of Ralphie and Red Ryder.
