Some of you might remember my cameo character in the first REB, Bilbo S. Thompson. He was of course shamelessly lifted from the persona of the creator of gonzo journalism, Hunter S. Thompson. I was not the first to lift his persona for creative inspiration; the "Uncle Duke" character in the Doonesbury cartoon also was based on Thompson.

Hunter S. Thompson died Sunday of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Given the somewhat Byronic nature of his life, the manner of his death perhaps is not surprising. RIP
