I found out on Thursday that Andrew Clements, one of my favorite authors, passed away last November.
He wrote a lot of great books, including: Frindle, The School Story, The Report Card, and many more. His writing was excellent and included great plots and excellent character development, with characters that were really relatable. I still enjoy re-reading his books.
Tonight I found out that Albert Uderzo passed away five days ago from a non-coronavirus-related heart attack. Uderzo was one of the co-creators of the awesome Asterix comics, along with Rene Goscinny who passed away over forty years ago. A number of years after Goscinny died, Uderzo wrote and drew "Asterix and The Black Gold" in Goscinny's memory. Goscinny was Jewish and "The Black Gold" takes place in the Middle East, especially in Judea of that time (50 BCE) and is filled with Jewish jokes.
A few years ago two new artists took over the Asterix legacy, so perhaps in a year or two, there'll be a comic dedicated to Uderzo.
