RIP.  :(

Excuse me, I need to sit down for a minute. Don't worry, I'll be fine. I'm just a little shaken up by that news.

Never did own an Etch A Sketch but when ever I was around one I'd always try and tinker with it just to see what I could produce. A shame about the creator of it as it was (and still is) a nifty artistic tool.
