<DIV>Have you checked Mark's POV site? Sergio's death was (prematurely)
reported in the media..... </DIV>
<DIV>Funny how people seem to remember wrong 'facts' longer than the
truth....</DIV>

are greatly exaggerated</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>So I was in class tonight and my professor said something to impugn
the nature of comic books. Being the good comic book reader (and Comic
Book Legal Defense Fund member) that I am, I came to the defense of
comics. During the class break, he asked me about graphic novels and I
suggested that, if he was looking for artwork integral to a story in a graphic
novel/comic book format, he would do good to check out Sergio's
works. The conversation went as follows:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>prof: "Sergio, how do you spell that?"</DIV>
<DIV>me: "Aragones"</DIV>
<DIV>prof: "Who's he?"</DIV>
<DIV>me: "You know the marginals in MAD? He draws them."</DIV>
<DIV>prof: "Didn't he just die?"</DIV>
<DIV>me: "I'll have to email and ask him."</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>This is not the first time I've heard of someone thinking Sergio is dead,
though I think it's the first time it's happened to my face. The
only explanation I could come up with for my professor is that
he probably was thinking of Antonio Prohias, who died not too
terribly many years ago. However one would think that the two of them
should be pretty easy to distinguish between. With Sergio's prodigious
output, one would think that it would be pretty apparent that he is still very
much alive and working, so why do people seem to regularly believe he is
not?</DIV>
