This is such a lovely remembrance, Liza. My wife Linda (Linda H. Davis, whom some of your followers probably know as the author of the only biography of Charles Addams) and I fell in love with Ed Koren's cartoons around they same time we fell in love with each other. And so one or the other of us has said, "Well, THERE's your problem" many hundreds of times in our nearly 42-year marriage. (And by the way, the problem usually was me.) We were hoping to meet Ed, but Linda got very sick, and I guess Ed got tired of waiting for us. But in the kindest and most humorous way, I'm sure. If you can miss someone you never met, we are missing him for sure, and always will.

He will be missed!
Such a huge loss. So talented, and his artwork is so instantly recognizable. Thank you for sharing such a beautiful remembrance of him.
