Or
Frances Badger Don’t Care
(Confused congratulations for Don)
Cult author Russell Hoban has died at the age of 86. Best known for his apocalyptic novel Riddley Walker, described by Anthony Burgess as "what literature is meant to be," set in Kent 2,000 years after a nuclear holocaust. He also wrote about Frances the badger and The Mouse and His Child, which was turned into an animated film by Sanrio, the bastards who brought the world Hello Kitty. Hobson also wrote a varmint-based version of The Gift of the Magi called Emmet Otter’s Jugband Christmas, which was turned into a 1978 HBO special by Jim Henson.
