Chemist Alfred Nobel, died today in 1896.
|

|
 | |  |
| And so, in his memory, Sweden hands out the Nobel Peace Prize on this date... usually... the day that HE DIED! To do so on his birthday would have been too... obvious I guess! | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| That's gotta be a morbid one to win - on par with the People's Choice Awards and the Razzies... | |

1967: Two days after recording 'Dock of the Bay,' Otis Redding dies in a plane crash
|
|
|
|
 | |  |
| He should have listened to his own advice... or his own song rather... and traveled by boat! | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| He would've sunk and drowned - the Grim Reaper always gets his man... or woman... or child... There's just no escaping MOI...! | |

1978: Edward D. Wood Jr., easily the worst filmmaker who ever lived, dies.
|
|
|
|
 | |  |
| Say... isn't this the actual set of "Plan 9 From Outer Space"? | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| Never mind that... what has gotten to our benevolent strip creator here - that he is always talking about DEATH in his strips lately? Not that I'm complaining... I finally get to be USED... often! | |
