Just a little.

I think he died in 2007

I can hear Elaine singing: “Get well, get well soon”. :-D

Didn’t he actually die in 2007?

Oy!

Larry “Bud” Melman

Was Larry Melman a real person?

Actually, Larry may be doing just fine……

Larry “Bud” Melman was actually Calvert Grant DeForest. He became famous by his frequent appearances on the David Letterman show where he was hilariously subjected to all sorts of inane antics. Sadly, he passed away on March 19, 2007 at the age of 85.

You forgot the flowers. :)

The Larry Melman in the strip was born in 1926, while Calvert Grant DeForest aka Larry “Bud” Melman was born in 1921. Homonymy?

Larry “Bud” Melman died in 2007, and was born in 1921.

Bud’s bought it, buddy. So, yeah, too late….

“Yeah, bud.”
