I'm going with the assumption that several other members of the list
share my perhaps unfortunate tastes in recreational literature. Robert
Asprin passed away on 22 May.
Excerpt from the obit:
--- tear here ---
In the far reaches of Ranke, in the sinister gloom of Sanctuary's Vulgar
Unicorn, Hell Hounds, cutpurses and street hustlers raise a flagon to a
great mage. Elsewhere, Skeeve and Aahz feel the passing of the Myth
Maker. And worlds away, a Phule and his creator are too soon parted.
On Thursday, May 22, fantasy/science-fiction author and editor Robert
Asprin passed away in his French Quarter residence.

*ahem* Further discussion off-list, please. ;-)
