"Wearing Superman pajamas and covered with his Batman blanket, comic book illustrator Dave Cockrum died Sunday."

You know John, that brings up an interesting question about death or burial. What would any of us like to be wearing when the 'day' comes or what would anyone like to be buried with?

It was really sad that he did not receive any royalties from the movie versions of the X-Men.

Wearing my red Chinese robe with the Black Dragon on the back, in my library with a copy of Robinson Jeffers Double Axe in my lap surrounded by white calla lilies.

Not going to be buried. Spare parts and Med school is the end game for this mortal shell but I have designed a Ceotaph to go in the Family burial place. But rather than a date of death it's to have an Infinity symbol there and the Sanskrit inscription from the Pali texts, "Gone, Gone, Gone Beyond."
