So, Steve Jobs just died.  To a father, husband, relative or friend, this may be a bad thing.  To the rest of the world, a celebrity death is just an opportunity to make jokes.

In this CC, pick a celebrity death of your choice and make a funny comic about it.  Here's a modest example that I did back when Randy Savage died...

He's Enjoying That Cup Of Coffee In The Big Time Now by ZMannZilla 5-20-11

The planning... I want to have a big surprise party for all my true believers, let's call it "The Rapture". What's a good day for you? It should be a day not associated with anything else to truly make it surprising, so... how about May 21st 2011? The problem... Aw, Me dammit! Some radio evangelist dropped the date, it's on the news and Facebook, and it's too late to cancel the caterers! Oh no! How are we going to get people to ignore the information so we can keep it a surprise? The solution... ...so you see why we had to call you home a little early, Mr. Savage. OOOOH YEAH!!! THE MACHO MAN IS DOWN WITH THE PLAN!!!

Old comics are OK as well.  Judging in two weeks-ish.

Steve and Steve by HCRoyall 6-10-09

You know that old 80's song One Night in Bangkok? Yeah, what about it? Well, in light of recent news I've been thinking about the line of the song that goes "can't be too careful with your company..." Way to make a joke about David Carradine dying, you insensitive jerk. Way to turn my herpes into a joke about David Carradine.

It was such a waste of everyone’s time and money that even the Tokyo stadium’s rape robots apologized– something they were programmed specifically never to do.

Whatchu Talkin' 'Bout? by four_legged_tripod 5-28-10

Doctor, Gary Coleman just died from a brain hemorrhage. Are you sure it wasn't an ischemic? Yep. It was a brain hemorrhage. What about a hemorrhagic, thrombotic, embolic, or uh, uh, uh... What's wrong doctor, can't think of the word? No, I just can't think of any other diff'rent strokes.

Groovy! - An Apple a day... by edoggydog 10-06-11

...and that's when I decided to switch from the Disney Channel to Spice. Groovy! Anyways... Did you hear that the creator of Apple computer, Steve Jobs, died yesterday? Have they arrested Obama yet? Why would they arrest President Obama? I heard on talk radio this morning that he's a "jobs" killer!

Oh If Only by four_legged_tripod 10-06-11

Where are you going with that gun? To find Kate Gosselin and put a bullet in her head. I know she's annoying and her show sucks but that's no reason to kill her. I know, but after she's dead I can make a comic about her and enter it in the current comic competition. Uh... the rules clearly state that the comic has to be about a celebrity.

Who's Bad? by kaufman 6-28-09

With this recent spate of dead celebrities, I know some of you may be having trouble telling them apart. So here to explain is People Magazine's Ed Lynch. Thank you Hillary, it's pretty straightforward. While Farrah Fawcett married the $6,000,000 man, Ed McMahon WAS the $1,000,000 man for Publisher's Clearing House. And what about Michael Jackson? What distinguishes him from them? Well, Michael, as you recall, sang "ABC". Ed was seen every night on NBC. That's pretty good. But can you tell the difference between Michael and Farrah? Piece of cake. You could always find Farrah's face on the WALLS of 12 year old boys ...

Groovy! - iPhone, uPhone, we all Phone for iPhone by edoggydog 10-08-11

So, do you really think President Obama had something to do with the death of the founder of Apple Computers? Didn't he say he was working on a "jobs" plan for September? But, Steve Jobs died in early OCTOBER. Not according to the Mayan calendar. And, he has already authorized the killing of American citizens who he deems a threat to our country... How was Steve Jobs a threat our country? Have you tried using that new piece-of-shit iPhone 4S?

Groovy! - Towering Infernal by edoggydog 10-08-11

You don't really believe President Obama had anything to do with the death of Steve Jobs, do you? Of course, not! *whew* You really had me worried there... I was just illustrating the point how stupid conspiracy theories are... Like the way some idiots think the Jews had something to do with 9/11. Are you saying the Jews DIDN'T have something to do with 9/11? *SIGH*

Gilligan has died - RIP Bob Denver by mandingo 9-06-05

and a new one... for the ladies...

RIP Jon. No, it's you, Jon. See, you're on fire. by mandingo 10-08-11

dude, bad luck. title of this comic says you're gonna die. what, no it doesn't. there are a lot of people named Jon. looks like it anticipated you saying that. it says, "No, it's you, Jon." IT COULD BE SAYING THAT TO ANY JON! maybe, but... HOLY CRAP! maybe but holy crap nothing. grab the fire extinguisher and put me out. we gotta warn this other Jon.

CC 487: Marilyn Monroe theorizes post mortem by bigworm 10-09-11

Happy Birthday to you... Happy Birthday to you... Happy Birthday Mr. President... Happy Birthday to you. Okay, in retrospect I can see that a little bit of tact might have helped.

He's making records with Tupac now by evil_d 6-26-09

Father, what's going to happen to Michael Jackson now that he's dead? If I had to guess, he'll release five posthumous albums and be sighted in shopping malls throughout the midwest for decades to come. I was looking for something more along the lines of how heaven works. Heaven? Michael Jackson? You don't read the news, do you, son?

Perspective Regained by evil_d 4-05-05

In the final analysis, Pope John Paul II was a symbol of holiness, who provided moral guidance to many. I think I speak for all of us when I say that he will be sorely missed. Oh... wait... this just in. Apparently I'm not actually Catholic, so I never paid attention to anything the Pope said after all. Words to remember, Jack.

I actually did a small series about John Paul II's death, but that one is probably the best.

The Official Don Adams Tribute by biped 9-27-05

Brace yourself, sweetie -- Don Adams died. DON ADAMS!!! OH, NO!!! NOOOOOO!!! DON ADAMS DIED!!! DON ADAMS DIED!!! Who's "Don Adams"? ...so I shot her.

Various People Express Their Regrets About Michael Jackson by biped 6-29-09

My main regret is that Michael will never get to see the next "Transformers" movie. My main regret is that Michael never got a chance to be the guest killer on "Matlock." My main regret is that Michael never got to see how many licks it takes to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop. My main regret is that Michael never got to have a fun sleepover with Madonna's new children. My main regret is that Michael never got to be "Michael Jackstone" on "The Flintstones." My main regret is that Rip Torn wouldn't let Michael be Agent M in "Men in Black II."

Oh, My Gorshins by biped 11-11-06

YAAA-HA-HAAAAA!!! HEE HEE HEEEEE!!! WHEEEEEEE!!! HOLY SHIT!!! IT'S THE REANIMATED CORPSE OF FRANK GORSHIN!!! HA HA HA HA HA!!! GRRRRRRRRR!!! ARF!!! ARF!!! ARF!!!HEE-HEEEEEEE!!! NO!!! NO!!! PLEASE DON'T GET ME, FRANK GORSHIN!!! WAAA-HA-HAAA!!! ...and finally, an update: the reanimated corpse of Frank Gorshin continues to terrorize the entire city. My, I wonder how in the world his corpse got reanimated. Well, stay tuned for "The Waltons: John-Boy Knocks Up A Cow."

But That's Not All by choadwarrior 10-11-11

Since nobody big has died recently, Sir Elton John has blessed us with an appearance and a new song written in tribute of the dearly departed... ♫♫Goodbye Don Lapre, even though I didn't know thee, when I was up late you tried to sell tiny ads to me... ♫♫And it seemed to me, you lived your life like an infomercial dope; But I never thought you'd twist in jail hung by your own rope. ♫♫ And I would have liked to know you, but I was just a kid. You made more money off your customers than those who followed your system did.

How Gene Roddenberry really died... As you know, I'm developing a new Star Trek show called, "Next Generation". Of course, I'm not offering the lead to William Shatner! He's a no-talent hack, who's fat, bald and couldn't act his way out of a wet paper bag! Of course, I'm not going to tell him in person! Once he finds out he didn't get the part, I'm as dead as a black man walking through Selma, Alabama circa 1965!

Groovy! - Props, Bro!! by edoggydog 10-12-11

Next on HGTV... Property Brothers. Groovy! This just in... We will not be able to bring you tonight's episode of Property Brothers due to the freak death of Jonathon Scott... What? "Jonathon was accidently killed by his identical twin, Drew, when after a successful remodel, Drew gave Jonathon a HUGE congratulatory fist-bump which caused his eyes to swell and burst!" Great job on the remodel! BAM!! GAH!

Timely that this one should come up.

Out of the Frying Pan and Into the Hopper by four_legged_tripod 6-01-10

Welcome to the River Styx Mr. Hopper. You need to calm down as a passenger, or should I say, you need to take it "Easy Rider." Ha ha. Very funny. I get it. This tunnel will take you to your afterlife destination. Don't rush down the tunnel. You need to be careful and watch your "Speed" or you'll "Crash." I swear, I'm gonna punch the next guy who makes a movie or tv reference right in the jaw! Hey, Dennis! "Hoosier" daddy? ...please let that be Gary Coleman, please let that be Gary Coleman, please let that be...

Okay, class... Today, we're going to dramatize the death by crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Ow. Ow. Ow. Eric, behind me will show how the Romans literally hammered nails into Christ's hands and feet, along with placing a crown of thorns on his head.   ?   With Eric being dyslectic, hopefully he didn't mix those two things up when he read the lesson plan... DAMMIT!

After the lead star from the hit series, Groovy!, died from an over dose of Viagra, which gave him a terminal case of priapism... Groovy! Groovy! ...not before he went on a drunken verbal rampage where he called the head writer a stinking Jew (even though edoggydog is actually a non-demominational protestant)... Groovy! Groovy! ...stripcreator.com held open tryouts to replace the dead actor with a look-a-like nobody. Groovy! Groovy!
