Dwayne McDuffie, R.I.P.

From MTV Splash Page --

Some sad news coming out of the industry wire today, as comic book, television, and movie writer Dwayne McDuffie has reportedly died due to complications of a surgical procedure.

An accomplished comics scribe whose work often challenged racial stereotypes in the industry, McDuffie's death was first reported at Comic Book Resources this afternoon and was later confirmed by various sources in and around the industry.

Among comics fans, McDuffie is probably best known as one of the co-founders of Milestone Media, a comics line that featured people of color as some of its most popular new heroes. One of the line's featured characters, Static, made the leap to television in 2000 as the hero of the award-winning animated series "Static Shock."

McDuffie was also called upon to write for several other popular animated series, including "Justice League Unlimited" and "Ben 10."

More recently, McDuffie scripted several of Warner Bros. Animation's animated feature films, including last year's "Justice League: Crisis On Two Earths" and "All-Star Superman," which hit shelves today. The writer was in attendance at the "All-Star Superman" premiere last week here in New York City.

Over the years, McDuffie has maintained an active creative presence in print comics despite his work in television and movies, and has been called upon to script the comic book adventures of a long list of notable characters — as well as a long list of characters made more notable by his efforts. In addition to writing high-profile, mainstream titles like "Justice League," McDuffie is known for bringing a tremendous level of character development to lesser-known titles like "Damage Control," "Deathlok," and "Firestorm."

Hey! Hey! Hey!

It's Fat Albert!

I went to a tag sale today and found these figures of Fat Albert and Weird Harold for $1.00. I had most of these Fat Albert figures back in the 70s, but I think we sold them in a garage sale in the 80s. I would love to find the rest of them someday.

Len Lesser, R.I.P.

From NY Daily News --

Len Lesser, the man who played the good-natured cheapskate Uncle Leo on "Seinfeld," died on Wednesday from cancer-related pneumonia, his family said. He was 88.

Best known for his enthusiastic "hello" for his nephew Jerry and his wild eyebrows, Lesser appeared in 15 episodes of the hit 1990s NBC show.

"Heaven got a great comedian and actor today," his daughter, Michele, said in a statement. "The outpouring of sympathy we've already received has been amazing and is so greatly appreciated. Thank you to all the people who helped make my father's last journey special and surrounded with love."

Lesser's classic "Seinfeld" scenes include chastising Jerry for not saying hello to him when he catches his elderly uncle shoplifting a book ("You still say hello") and his constant bragging about his son, Jeffrey, who works at the Parks Department ("You should read the letters he's written").

In addition to "Seinfeld," Lesser's TV career spanned six decades, mostly in bit roles on hit shows such as "Everybody Loves Raymond," "ER," "Kojak," and "All in the Family."

Most recently, Lesser appeared on the ABC show "Castle" in 2009.

Lesser is survived by two children and three grandchildren.
