Joel Taylor has died.

Cartoonist Mort Walker, who created Beetle Bailey and Hi and Lois, died today. He was 94.

From the Wikipedia:

"Graduating from Northeast High School, he attended one year at Kansas City Junior College in 1942-43[12] before going to the University of Missouri. Walker's physical presence in Columbia is noted by The Shack, which was a rambling burger joint behind Jesse Hall on Conley Avenue."

The location known as the shack was torn down about a couple of decades ago for a jewelry store and another alumni center on the UMC campus. It is sad, so very sad. They did put up a memorial
