May he rest in peace.

Ouch! (This picture seems all the more prophetic to me now because of the fact that I watched it only yesterday, not knowing of his ailment.)

    This is sad, he seemed like a really nice guy and was a fond part of my childhood.

    Erm that puppet doesn’t look anatomically correct. Can’t remeber SI being PC. I’m surprised they didn’t give him a claw or something.
