The Doozies by Tom Gammill for March 16, 2012

Hey ! I spotted a UFO :)

Every day a new wacky obit for cultural icons both well-known and obscure.

There are 25 more headstones behind that one.

Ha! Good one!

Gutenberg is spinning in his grave!

It’s a doozie!

The NPR segment where they talked to a rep from E.B. and compared it with Wikipedia was interesting. And though somewhat less direct that gaming Google searches, it’s possible to get incorrect stuff to stick in Wikipedia by finding (generating) a lot or references for it.

RIP World Book

That UFO left “John Carter” to come here, so more people would see it.

EB is online. As said in an article in my local paper, there’s way too much history to put in actual paper encyclopedias. The volumes would just keep increasing to report it all. With EB online, the updates would be easier and consistent.

Next tombstone in this comic:

The Doozies R.I.P.

GOODBYE DOOZIES this reader got tired of reading Obituaries.

I think Tom does a great public service in keeping us informed about cultural icons that have passed away.Thanks Tom,don’t change a thing !!

Sorry to see you go, comicnut4636 !
