May 19: great gimpity did I kill him by posting this??! I should have given him a more proven weapon to defend with than the awkward gun-blade.

I could not let my inoperable art tablet keep me from honoring the legendary career of broadcaster Morley Seifer.
I suspect tumblr is not going to appreciate this as much as it did Squalo Renhart.
On my part this is surely either a cry for help or a statement of unwillingness to accept help. Ironically, this is one of the more coherent digital art works I have made recently. It is as if I cannot do well unless I am doing something that there is no need to do well.

Looks good! Keep up the digital work.

Do you think Morley Seifer could had bested Kyall Renhart?
charmlatan sez:
Wow… right as he retired…

My guess is that he was unofficially retired for some while, and then only made a proper announcement of it recently, after he was already sick and it became apparent he could not return to television. I noticed he did not appear on the career retrospective aired for him last week (where I became so heavily acquainted with his name that I had to draw this), so likely he was already in a bad way by then.
charmlatan sez:
Guess was spot on. Read a few articles.

I imagine it is like with vomiting. I was thinking about the matter roundabout when I made that last remark. I not had done it for a long time but recently was reintroduced. There is a short period between when I thought “I feel like vomiting, but I can avoid it” and actually vomiting, when I quickly realize “this is inevitable and there is no time to prepare. Where can I aim to minimize property damage?”
Dying might be a bit like that.
You imagine “this is unpleasant but I’ve been through this before” and some point it transitions into “oh no this is worse and it is not going to end.” That seems to vary in length from a few minutes to a few years, since there are a great number of ways and reasons to become dead.
The picture still amuses me, though. I wish I had a better grasp on that stupid gun-sword. I spent the longest and that part and that is just how it was. Well well I will put something different here during greater Friday.

You make a good point, and metaphor.
