Go, Read: Bring Out Your Dead

I'm a huge sucker for historical round-ups like this one from the AV Club on memorable comic strip deaths. Kudos to the writers for remembering John Darling, that dead bird from Calvin & Hobbes and Mary Gold (from The Gumps); demerits for leaving off Raven Sherman, a prominent character from Terry and the Pirates that died in I think October 1941. My aunt talked about Raven Sherman 35 years after this happened; she, like many girls, followed strips with a soap opera element the way high school girls of my era videotaped The Young and the Restless.
