After a nasty terminal cancer, Tony of Spite Your Face has died.
He was a housemate to my wife when we first met - a house full of animation graduates - and he was doing brickmation for fun, along with commercial work. Without him, there probably wouldn't be a Lego Movie. Knights of the Round Table in Lego - that was his, and lots more.
Go take a look, raise a glass, and be happy he did good work for us to enjoy.

Having read comments on work like Knights he's clearly made many people happy and undoubtedly led many to consider a career doing the same

experience Cancer is an evil, horrible cunt. Why there has never been the same reaction to it as we had for Covid is beyond my simple mind to comprehend.

Global cancer research is getting billions in funding. A quick Google shows the US alone is spending about 2.7% of it's GDP on cancer research. That's a greater proportion than they spent on the Moon landings.

Because they're not new in humans, are slow to develop, and the number of cases doesn't fluctuate as dramatically as in a pandemic. They also lack the social aspect of a contagious disease. It's a different story with science news feeds, where cancer research generates dozens of headlines daily.

If you live long enough, you are 100% guaranteed to get it.

Luckily the immune system can usually deal with it. Everybody has tumours, unfortunately some of them prove to be malignant or interfere with organs.

Mrs Wizard has been quite cut up by the news, so most of my feels are vicarious.
