RIP Allan Ahlberg

the brightly illustrated cover of the Ahlberg's Old Joke Book featuring cartoon jokes and silliness
Allan Ahlberg has passed away. His partner and co-author Janet passed away in 1994. Their "The Old Joke Book" was my life when I got it at around age 8. TBH I'm disappointed that more of life isn't like The Old Joke Book.
