Jonathan Winters Dead At 87
One of the funniest comics ever, and the inspiration for the likes of Robin Williams and Jim Carrey.
Rest in peace, Jonathan.

He made me laugh so hard I cried more than once, and that is a wonderful gift. R.I.P., Mr. Winters.

Re: Jonathan Winters Dead At 87
When a friend e-mailed me this news (after I'd already seen it, BTW), I replied with "RIP Maude Frickert". He bounced back with "Who's Maude Cricket?"
Philistine.

Suck It

Re: Jonathan Winters Dead At 87
I have let a lot of these obit posts go by without comment, often also adding a bit of snide BS of my own,
but THIS ONE REALLY HURTS. I have never been affected by any other humorist lile I was by this man. He may be a bit too bizarre for most people, but he was just the best. Just the best. I loved him like a father and never met him. |

Re: Jonathan Winters Dead At 87
He was born in my area and grew up in my hometown, so our area has been non-stop with the announcements and coverage today. It does suck when the truly great ones leave us
