Continuing to live-blog my reactions (?), I wonder if he realized he realized as he was dying just how close his passing would be to the annual Eustace Tilly cover ish of the New Yorker...maybe that would be a good issue to properly memorialize a man who did so much at that magazine. I would hope they would have the nuts to do a special issue, not just a section and the usual drivel from Sy Hersh on how there's an Iranian bomb ready to go off near your local Quizno's.Some wag of an editorial cartoonist could probably do a memorial drawing of Tilly with JU's reknowned beak, but readers of the Daily Blonk would likely not even know what it signified, in these coarse times.
It's odd: I really am sort of in shock. Gonna go describe the tone of some blue object as "skyey" and says "seems" a lot until this feeling passes.
