Oh no, I hadn’t heard about William Asher! This is probably a bad time to say I thought he had passed away about 3 years ago, isn’t it? Wonder who I have him confused with.
I’m a sucker for those tiny line drawings of frolickers on the ads. They’re deceptively simple and completely charming.

He’d been suffering from Alzheimer’s for awhile now. His passing was kinda over-shadowed by the sad glut of losses we’ve had over the past couple of weeks — Griffith, Borgnine, Holme and Zanuck.
