Fossilized

Hoff in Coffin
(props to Chris for the header)
Syd Hoff, author of "Danny and the Dinosaur," is finally extinct at age 91. Just to show how many epochs he spanned, he was originally hired by William Randolph Hearst. He penned numerous cartoons for the New Yorker from 1931 to 1975, but was widely acclaimed for his books in which a museum dinosaur comes to life and spends the day with a boy in New York City. One of his lesser-known titles was "Danny and the Dinosaur go Wilding in Times Square."
