Nope. I think they made a big deal of it too. I think he was sick awhile, but instead of getting better he died. I guess they were trying to teach kids about death.
Well, is there a cover-up or something? Because neither wikipedia nor imdb have record of this. *remains skeptical*
^^ Hmm, I don't know. I just remember hearing he died, I could be wrong. Someone should tune in to Sesame Street and see if he's there.
Haha, it's cool. I'm just a little neurotic about my childhood icons is all... Like when Elmer Fudd finally got Bugs Bunny in that one episode of Family Guy, I got on Youtube and watched old Looney Tunes, thinking to myself, "he isn't dead... see? look, there he is... he's fine..."
