Bill Waterson's Calvin & Hobbes poem introduced "defenestration" to me when I was young young young: "The monster, in his consternation,
Demonstater defenestration". Its such a great word, and he was such a brilliant person, and a great inspiration. (sorry, completely off topic)
Who was a brilliant person?
I think he is currently alive. Cursory googling didn't reveal a death date.
More of an artistic death. :/
How do you know that he is not secretly creating something amazing, to be released later? (This is my fantasy anyway)
He was brilliant until he stopped making Calvin & Hobbes. :)
