You probably already heard that Kelly Freas passed away on January 2nd. And the next day, Will Eisner. Each was a great artist who influenced thousands of readers, writers, and illustrators. But did you know about H. David Dalquist, creator of the Bundt pan?
Take a few hours out of your busy day and pay tribute to the men responsible for so many wonderful things. And bake a Tunnel o' Fudge cake. It'll give you something to nosh on while you're reading your old MAD magazines and comic books.

He signed a button I was wearing "gremlins do TOO exist!" (he was always considered a gremlin in human form). I know his daughter, Jacqui, but haven't seen her or really stayed in contact since I left L.A. And, I know his wife Laura. I know both of them more than I knew Kelly. It's still sad. mom and dad are pretty torn up.

Posted by: CF at January 6, 2005 01:31 PMMerciful Jebus, how could I possibly have forgotten the meat bundt? I still can't believe that you guys ate it all. 5 pounds of 85% lean ground beef. Plus 2 pounds of bread crumbs.
Improbable Saveur. <snrk>
