I never got a chance to post them near the end of the year (due to my busy schedule), but I will show you the fanart to the very 3 icons that have since passed away.

| A small, simple tribute to the late great comedian, Gallagher, who is best known for, judging from this image, smashing watermelons with his Sledge-o-matic mallet. Godspeed, good sir. No one can bash melons like you do. Be at peace. |

| To the greatest Ranger who is as multicolored as the rainbow. Your legend will never die, as long as we remember you fondly. Be a peace, good sir, and may the power protect you always. Godspeed. Once a Ranger, always a Ranger. |

| With all the Michael Keatons, Val Kilmers, George Clooneys, Christian Bales, Ben Afflecks, Robert Pattersons, and the Adam Wests of the world, in this universe, in this world, just like with Peter Cullen with Optimus Prime and Jodi Benson with Ariel, Kevin Conroy wasn't just the voice of Batman, he IS Batman. Whenever we read a comic with Batman, we often hear his voice when speaking or when thinking through a thought bubble. For 30 years, that man, through all the hardships in his life, he was truly the heart and soul of Batman. Underneath all the gruffy expressions, he is as vulnerable as any of us. He is human and none of us is perfect. The world has become more darker without him. But as long as we remember what he has done for us, not just for us comic book fans, but for all fans in general, he will never truly be gone. They will be others carrying on voicing the Dark Knight, but there will never be another one like him. He was truly one of a kind. He is vengeance, he is the night, he is Batman...forevermore. Be at peace...Detective. |
And before I end this blog, let me give you a heads up in the world of wrestling. Lanny Poffo passed away on February 2nd, 2023, he was 68 years old. In his career, started off as "Leaping" Lanny Poffo before becoming best known by his well known gimmick as The Genius. Not only he is a wrestler, but he is the son of Angelo Poffo, as well as the younger brother of Randy Poffo, better known as "Macho Man" Randy Savage. Not as well known as his famous brother, Lanny was known for two things in wrestling that I remember the most, his partnership with Curt Hennig aka Mr. Perfect and being manager of the Beverly Brothers after The Coach left the WWF for some reason. On a silly note, as The Genius, being known for wearing his ceremonial cap and gown, a ritual for graduation, why he didn't use Pomp & Circumstance as his theme instead of Macho Man, I'll never know. When he was not wrestling, he was a poet, actor and a motivational speaker. Poffo died of heart failure according to his fellow wrestler and friend, "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan. He will be missed, but he won't be alone in the afterlife, knowing that he will be with his brother. You are a cream in the crop, just like Macho Man. Godspeed, you leaping genius, you.
