Jim Unger, RIP

Jim Unger - the creator of "Herman" - has died. From the linked article:

...the understated genius who pondered the banal and frustrating moments of everyday life — and turned them into daily laugh-out-loud comic strip rituals for millions of readers — died in his sleep at his B.C. home Tuesday. Unger, who left behind two daughters, was 75.

His dry-humoured character, Herman, would become the everyman for readers, who often threw out their daily paper after flipping to the only item that really mattered.

I haven't subscribed to a newspaper for years, but when I did, I never missed Herman. Here is a small sample.
