Richard Thompson, creator of the Cul de Sac cartoon and Richard’s Poor Almanac blog, is a friend from back in college. (We won’t say how long ago that was!) I stumbled upon his blog and loved yesterday’s post. It’s a different kind of death cartoon.

It was titled “Your Unnecessary Spot Illustration of the Day.”

“I was looking for a caricature I did ten or so years ago of Mubarak but I couldn’t find it, which is annoying because I’ve been tripping over the thing all that time, which might’ve actually been more like 20 years or even 30.
So here’s this Blue Screen of Death, which I think was drawn for a Joel Achenbach column in the Post Magazine maybe five or six years ago. The thing I like is the stuffed toy on Death’s computer with the x-ed out eyes.”
