AGE / VALUE:   Death of Johnny Helms, creator of Baz and Honk posted by: Christopher on 11/5/2009 at 4:26:47 PM
From Cycling magzine (I.P.C. media)
Cycling magazine's house cartoonist, Johnny Helms passed away today after a short hospital stay he was 85. Jonnny drew the characters Honk and Baz for Cycling and mopeds and the later and most current versions of the magazine. He contributed articles and drew ads for cycle companies. A long standing contributor since 1946.

With the exception of Johnny there is nothing and nobody left from the old days, the magazine having changed hands and moved several times.

His work is well known and well loved, actually, he's famous for his comics depicting dogs and other things a cyclist endures and has to deal with. The trials and adventures a cyclist encounters. I am sobbing and don't know what else to say. The official notice is on the CYCLING MAGAZINE web site.
