Debating The Legacy Of Harry Horse

There was a nice piece at The Scotsman over the weekend about a new play featuring the work and life of the late cartoonist Harry Horse and how the attention given that show might be employed by Horse's family to argue aspects of his legacy. That's to be expected: an artistic effort tends to do that, but then you may remember that the item #1 up for debate concerning Horse's legacy is how he died: a murder-suicide implemented by knife that included his Multiple Sclerosis-suffering, wheelchair-bound wife Mandy. You get the Horse family's side of things here, and it's heartbreaking to hear someone having to make such stark distinctions within an event that's so generally tragic.
