Vixen tries so hard to be edgy.
A notable passing, indeed.
The image on her shirt is not, of course, "Rosie the Riveter", but "We Can Do It", from a completely separate campaign, but a connection was made some time ago and is perpetuated on the internet.

Probably not familiar to anyone outside the Uk or born in the last 35 years.
Jimmy Cricket, the northern Irish comic who became a regular fixture on British television throughout the 1980s, has died aged 80.
Known for his catchphrase: “And there’s more!”, Cricket fronted his own ITV series of the same name on which he rocked his signature look of tailcoat, short trousers and wellington boots marked clearly with “L” and “R” on the wrong feet. He also appeared at the 1984 Royal Variety Performance as well as in the BBC’s long-running light entertainment vehicle The Good Old Days.

a flimsy character...perfidious and despised
Major League Baseball pitcher Tommy John has died, at age 83. Best known for the surgery that was performed on his pitching arm in 1974, which became known as Tommy John Surgery. This is now such a common procedure that about 35% of MLB pitchers have it at some point in their careers. Pitched 26 seasons (1963-1974, 1976-1989) for six different clubs and had better results in the 14 seasons after the surgery than in the 12 before. Only Nolan Ryan pitched more seasons (27). Unfortunately, his 288 wins weren't enough to get him into the Hall of Fame.

Unfortunate, I always liked them.

I assume there's a connection, but 'Pretend We're Dead' has disappeared from my Rocksmith account.

Ironically, Frank was the one without a beard.
Notable enough to warrant her own thread. https://internationalskeptics.com/forums/threads/dolly-parton-dead-at-80.381124/

When my daughter was a child she loved Home Alone 2. He was pretty good in that.

He was one of those actors who even when he was under prosthetics and makeup as in IT and Legend, he shone through and he could be 'quintasential Tim Curry' while still being the character, which I think may be the difference between a great actor and a Star. His Frank N Furter will never be bettered.

If they're including animation, then they should have included Anton Sevarius from "Gargoyles".
