I just read on boingboing that Robert Asprin has passed away. Asprin wrote the MythAdventures series; I remember Aahz and Skeeve quite fondly from my youth: Skeeve is a magician's apprentice who finds out that his boss is a fraud, and Aahz is the mischievous demon who helps him on his new path in life.

On May 22, 2008, Bob passed away quietly in his home in
New Orleans, LA. He had been in good spirits and working
on several new projects, and was set to be the Guest of Honor
at a major science fiction convention that very weekend.
He is survived by his mother, his sister, his daughter and his
son, and his cat, Princess, not to mention countless friends and fans and numerous legendary fictional characters.

He will be greatly missed.
