TV CHARACTER OBITUARIES
The most fun I have writing is doing my series of TV CHARACTER OBITUARIES. Then again, who would even want to see Fonzie dead? To the reader, just keep in mind the cliché that it's more about the journey than the destination, so just enjoy how I devised a way to escort him to the grave? Jessica Fletcher from Murder She Wrote deserves what I gave her for being the kiss of death to other characters. True I used to have a major crush on Yvonne Craig, who played Batgirl in the Sixties (I was only eight-years-old, but I nonetheless ravished her in my dreams), but that did not stop me from staging an elaborate end to her pretty life. And still I love her so much!
