Jonathan Winters, R. I. P.

Jonathan Winters, Comedian, Dies at 87 - NYTimes.com: Jonathan Winters, the rubber-faced comedian whose unscripted flights of fancy inspired a generation of improvisational comics, and who kept television audiences in stitches with Main Street characters like Maude Frickert, a sweet-seeming grandmother with a barbed tongue and a roving eye, died on Thursday at his home in Montecito, Calif. He was 87.

Hat tip to Randy Johnson.

I loved Jonathan Winters. He was the first comedian I found funny (back in the late 1950s!). Winters had a long and funny career. I'll miss him.
