This Week In Obituaries: Mort Walker
One of the “go-tos” for the Sunday funnies.
Mort Walker, the creator of the popular Beetle Bailey comic strips, passed away on Saturday, January 27th due to complications from pneumonia at the age of 94.
Beetle Bailey launched on September 4th, 1950 and it revolved around a cast of characters stationed at an army base that can best be described as if Homer Simpson were stationed with the cast of M.A.S.H. but way before M.A.S.H. or Homer were even a thought for television. The strip is still going strong today and it’s expected it will continue to do so despite Walker’s passing.
Mort is survived by seven children from his first wife and three step-children to his second wife Catherine Prentice.
"There are also other characters that come and go (also owned by the Warner Bros. Discovery conglomerate media company)."
Huh. Is that just referring to other characters from the show itself, or is this implying that the new season is going to have cameos from other WBD IPs
