No memes for this one. A picture is enough. Mr. Wilder, thank you for being a zany light of wonderfulness in this sometimes less-than-wonderful world.

He’s dancing with Gilda in heaven, while a slightly crazed stoop-backed man rolls his googley eyes and smiles

Well, if you gotta go, might as well go out making the world feel like it’s missing something.

Adiós, amigo.

Will Gene be buried/cremated with his blue blankie?

We must accept this news with quiet dignity and grace.

(I mailed Gene Wilder a fan letter exactly six months ago. I did hear that he’d not be signing autographs but I didn’t know how ill he was.)

Absolutely one of a kind.

Thanks for so many great cinematic experiences, Mr. Wilder.

Fuck this year

Can we just cancel it and make tomorrow the start of 2017?

Dammit.

On the bright side, he lived a long life, and now he can be reunited with Gilda.

RIP to them both.

‘He’s with Marty Feldman now’ is pretty good as afterlife goes, I reckon.
