H-Dog: R.I.P.

I can't believe this.  It's bad enough that the Onion has gotten progressively less funny ever since they sold out and moved from Madison, Wisconsin to New York City.  It's bad enough that I'm disappointed more often than I laugh when the paper is released on Wednesdays. 

But now, the Onion has done the unthinkable: they've killed H-Dog.   The Rob sent me the proof this morning. 

Herbert Kornfeld was easily my all-time favorite columnist on the Onion's pages.  His entries never failed to make me laugh, and his demise is nothing less than a travesty.  Though I strongly suspect that Irving Weinbaum columns will begin to appear in short order, nobody can truly replace H-Dog -- either at Midstate Office Supply or (sniff) in my heart.
