On March 4th, the news rocketed through the blogosphere that E. Gary Gygax had died. I was amazed and sometimes delighted by the outpouring of memory and inspiration this released. And as I'm already starting to loose track of what I saw where, I'm listing a bunch of the links here.

Excellent links; thanks Alice. I could never get into it the way that some did, but I have a certain appreciation for the underlying humor of the comics listed here.

You've put me in some pretty heady company there, Alice. :) Thanks for the shoutout! I actually got a little sniffly as I finished writing that.
