Jim Unger, creator of the long running newspaper panel HERMAN, died in his sleep on May 29, 2012, after a long illness in Saanich, British Columbia. He was 75.
Funeral arrangements have not yet been made. In lieu of flowers and cards, Unger¹s family has asked for donations to the Heart and Stroke Foundation.
Cartoonist Adrian Raeside said of his friend:
"If, like me, you're feeling down about Jim Unger's passing, go pick up a Herman book. I guarantee you'll start giggling at the first cartoon. I think that's how Jim would want to be remembered."

Oh no! I'm very sad to read this. I liked Unger's style and sense of humor. He'll be missed.
You wrote "3012" - I think that would’ve made him smile.
Yes, I did originally write that Mr. Unger died in "3012." I have corrected it. I hope you are correct that somewhere Mr. Unger is OK with my stupid typo. Mea culpa!
I'm reminded of this Herman here:
