I've heard they're not going to bury him, just make the Earth 6 foot bigger instead.

Influential comic artist Sam Kieth had died at age 63 after suffering from Lewy Body Dementia. Aside from co-creating The Sandman he's perhaps best known for creating The Maxx, a weird comic with very unique art that spawned an animated TV series on MTV. Alan Moore loved The Maxx so much he even wrote an issue of it.

I don't mind admitting that her part-autobiographical book "The Choice" had me in tears at one point.
