The Onion best sum up my thoughts on the death of Michael Jackson. I had almost forgotten that I was a huge Michael Jackson fan when I was young. I remember (in no particular chronological order) the huge deal about Thriller being on TV but not seeing it until much later, Michael Jackson cards from Topps, Billie Jean and footpaths that light up when you walk on them and I remember “Farewell My Summmer Love” which apparently was a hit in 1984 which would mean I was 8 years old.

Anyway, I stumbled across this illustration by Chris Judge for the Scamp Michael Jackson memorial post. I liked the fact he chose to illlustrate what for me is such a positive memory of the man.
