The Departed of 2010
For 2010, we say goodbye to three great comedians, and one oracle.
Two of them are icons of Philippine cinema. One of them an eternally white-haired Caucasian. And the other, an oracle with tentacles.
Some icons I have failed to honor, like the master animator slash psychonaut Art Clokey. Months had passed before I learned of Clokey's death, and I didn't want to give the impression that I've been living under a rock. So save for Clokey, the names of the departed link back to their individual obituaries.
4 September 1934 - 12 April 2010
