Now a straight face will be too easy to keep This is a hideous loss. Nothing in life matters more than a good laugh, and for that Jeff MacNelly was a steady, abundant and irreplaceable source. When I told David Hodskins (my old friend and long-time business partner) that we named our new son Jeffrey, he replied "As in Dahmer?" I should have had the wit to respond, "No, as in MacNelly." You can't draw cartoons like this, illustrations like this, art like this, books like this, and strips like this, and not have a delicious sense of humor (as well as the rare ability to draw five things at once). What I liked best about MacNelly was that he made exquisite sense out of every topic he tweaked -- just like Dave Barry, the satirist whose columns were graced every week by a MacNelly cartoon (such as the one I borrowed here). What will Dave do without him? Same as the rest of us. He'll laugh less.
