:sigh: RIP Neal Adams

Legendary Comic Artist Neal Adams has sadly passed away at 80. His work on 'GREEN LANTERN/GREEN ARROW' and 'BATMAN' changed comics and continues to inspire art to this day.

Aside from his timeless stories with his collaborator Dennis O’Neil, Adams co-created such fan favourites as John Stewart, Ra’s al Ghul, and Man-Bat for DC Comics, as well as Mockingbird for Marvel Comics.

May his memory be a blessing.

Mike Hagerty Dies: ‘Friends’ & ‘Somebody Somewhere’ Actor Was 67

Mike Hagerty, best known for his roles on Somebody Somewhere, as the building super Mr. Treeger on Friends and as the owner of a used-clothing store on Seinfeld, has died. His death April 29 was confirmed by Bridget Everett, who plays his daughter on the HBO comedy. No cause was given.

“With great sadness, the family of Michael G. Hagerty announced his death yesterday in Los Angeles,” wrote Everett on Instagram. “A beloved character actor, his love of his hometown of Chicago and his family were the cornerstones of his life. … He will be sorely missed.”

A longtime character actor, Hagerty entered the zeitgeist when he was cast as Mr. Treeger on Friends in 1995 and recurred in the role until 2001. In 2013, he joined the cast of Brooklyn Nine-Nine as Captain McGinley. And in 2022, he joined Everett in her breakout comedy Somebody Somewhere as patriarch Ed Miller.

He also had a memorable role on Seinfeld and made multiple appearances in TV shows as varied as The Wonder Years, The Drew Carey Show, Arli$$, ER and Deadwood.

He is survived by his wife Mary Kathryn; his sister, Mary Ann Hagerty; her wife, Kathleen O’Rourke; and their daughter Meg.

I always enjoed him in the comedy things I saw him in, and his delivery of the line "stay out of this, iceman" to Data was memorable.
