Hank Ketchum

[Mairwen]

Another cartoonist from my childhood has passed away. Last year, we lost Charles Schultz, and yesterday afternoon, we lost Hank Ketchum, creator of Dennis the Menace. :(

That's terrible. :( I remember reading good ole Dennis the Menace. :( And watching Charlie Brown on tv. I still can't believe Charles Schultz is gone. Eh, now I'm all teary. :(

Thanks for letting us know.

well at least his fellow artists (i'm not sure if they were related to him or not) are going to keep the comic strip going!

it's sad when comic strips we grew up with end... i was really sad when they stopped calvin and hobbes.... at least we'll still have dennis the menance for now... and hank's memory will live on!

and yeah.. i miss charles shultz too...

does the snoopy dance off into the sunset

Calvin and Hobbes were my ultimate favorite!!
Now Dennis the Menace?!?!

:(

*sniff... off to the closet in search of her Calvin and Hobbes books to console herself*

Unless Calvin's creator has recently passed, the reason that strip stopped, is that the man retired.

I sure do miss my Snoopy, though. :( He's my hero.

the calvin and hobbes guy just retired and moved on to some other projects... :(

Calvin and Hobbes guy have moved on to other projects?

I guess I should feel lucky, we still got some Calvin and Hobbes stories to publish here in Sweden :)

I just loooove Calvin and Hobbes.
