6. Loved him.

His cartoons never showed anything terrible... just implied something terrible was going to happen.

My favorite: guy at home on the phone with his girlfriend. There are saws, knives, and drills all laid out carefully on a table, and an open trunk in the corner. Caption: "Gee, Marsha, I'm really disappointed you can't make it tonight."

Gahan Wilson, whose outlandish, often ghoulish cartoons added a bizarrely humorous touch to Playboy, The New Yorker, National Lampoon and other publications in the era when magazines propelled the cultural conversation, died on Thursday in Scottsdale, Ariz. He was 89.
