Selby Kelly, 1917 - 2005
Author and cartoonist Selby Daley Kelly died over the July 4th weekend [Correction: two weeks ago] in Northern California. She had been ill for some time and the cause of death is reported as complications from a stroke. Selby was 87, having been born August 13, 1917 in Boulder, Colorado. She later moved to Los Angeles and had a long career in animation, commencing with a job in the ink and paint department at Walt Disney Studios in 1936. She was reportedly an inker on Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and worked her way up to the post of assistant animator before she left Disney as a result of the 1941 strike -- the same event that drove her future husband, Walt Kelly, away from Disney animation and into the comic book, and later the comic strip business.

This really saddens me. When I was attending New york University's Summer Publishing Institute, Byron was one of the guest speakers, and he was an inspiration for me to go into the science fiction field as opposed to just taking any job in publishing. He was a pioneer in new ways of marketing books, connecting traditional print mediums with multimedia publications, and seeing the crossover potential of books, tv, film, and comics.
