CTV is reporting that Bob Keeshan, Captain Kangaroo, died at age 76.

Kevin founded Wizbang in 2003. He still contributes occasionally and handles all the technical and design work for the site.

How sick is it that when I saw the news I was pissed I didn’t have him?

Hey, am I wrong for being saddened by his passing?

I could have sworn he died a couple years ago.

I thought he was dead, too. Or was that Mr. Green Jeans? Either way – it sure makes me feel old that all my childhood favorites are dying off.

Captain Kangaroo dies at the age of 76 and friggin Fidel friggin Castro is still alive and kicking at 77. Damn.

I just have this picture in my mind of Jesus waiting at the gates waving a friendly wave, “Morning Captain.”
