That totally sucks.  Phil Hartman was one of the best comic actors
and comedy writers ever.  The Simpsons will never be the same again
without Troy McClure, Lionel Hutz, etc.  I saw an interview with him
a few years ago back when Bob Costas did the "Later" show.  He seemed
like a real person, not a typical fake L.A. person (he's originally from
Canada anyway).  He used to do artwork for album covers back in the '70s
before he got into comedy.  A multi-talented guy.

I will miss Phil Hartman.
