I know it's not quite comic-book related, but Ernie Coombs, Canada's beloved "Mr. Dressup" died earlier today following a stroke he had last week. I have many, many fond memories watching Mr. Dressup as a child, and even as a not-so-child. He had retired in 1992, along with his pals Casey and Finnagen, after about 4,000 episodes. http://home-news.excite.ca/news/cp/010918/14/ernie-coombs-beloved
