Ah, that's a shame. I'd hoped SB would make it to 100.

I used to love his shows, back in the day. A lot of the jokes you'd never get away with nowadays...

Yeah, I was looking him up recently and was surprised he was still around at 99!

His comedy shows were a bit before my time but I remember him well as Mr. Majeika from the CITV show.

Fuck, no. I loved his Titan/Wizard/Demon trilogy as a kid. He was friends with Dean Ing, despite their obvious political differences. Fuck.

Rob's murderer might be his son.

Read in the TMZ comments that his son killed him and the mom. That I could believe.

His son was/is a homeless drug addict.

He reveled in hating EVERYTHING that threatened his leftist bullshit too strongly. It affected my opinion on him completely, same with Kevin Conroy and Peter Fonda for example. I’m gonna say it, I don’t care he’s dead.
