Today marks one week since MAD's Dave Berg passed away. I have yet to see news of this in one single mainstream news source. And the few places it's been reported on the Internet all seem to be derived from (or linked to) this site.
The above is not intended as bragging about a "scoop." I could scarcely care less about that. But I do care mightily about the fact that the so-called news sources that cover things like the weekend grosses of the Spider-Man movie and which pass on any press release a comic book company issues have such a lackadaisical attitude about stories like the death of an important cartoonist.
