   (…picking up from Monday…) Yeah, the list of deaths of recurring characters appears to be:

   Andy (Joan’s heartthrob) Dick Davenport (Lacey’s birdwatching husband) Lacey Davenport Phil Slackmeyer (Mark’s dad)

   Now, the widow Doonesbury.

   So, who gets the farm and who gets the Honda dealership? …and did she plant rice last year?

   So, anybody recall the last time we actually saw Ben/Sal? The last time I can think of off the top of my head was way back in Gulf War I, at Mike and JJ’s place in NYC (setting up a series of Tripp Trippler strips, maybe around the time Ray got wounded).

   Maybe Ben appeared since. Was he at Mike and Kim’s wedding?

   It will be interesting to see where this storyline is going. So far, it’s just dead.

   Bill, won’t you? You’d be performing a service.

   Had a similar case with my Mom. People could believe it was actually her, her mouth was shut.

   rmbdot, worth noting that we’ve never heard him referred to as Ben before: in the 70s Mike’s little brother was Benji, then Sal in the 80s. Guess we’re back to a different diminutive of Benjamin.

   I’m mighty glad that Jewish funerals don’t resort to that nonsense.

    @wiwo:

    And how do you get “Sal” from “Benji?”

    And what’s with the hair? Mike’s older, right? Does he dye it, then?

    My father-in-law looked like a gay hooker with the lousy make-up job. My wife nearly killed her step-mom for letting it happen. This is NOT funny. Cause it usually goes the other way.

    So very true.

    When Benji was going through a punk phase, he changed his name to “Sal Putrid”, and the “Sal” was short for “saliva”.

    When my wife died and was laid out for the wake, she had a very sour expression. I hadn’t seen her until the service, and when I commented on that, one of my friends said, “I think being dead had something to do with it”.

    “Is it too late to fix it?” He asks.

    It’s a little late for Daisy to fix the expression that she wore throughout her life.

    But it’s not too late for the funeral director to make alterations to reflect it.
