In fairness, you could just quote most of that book

.....But then Doctor Fitch very suddenly saw that his wonderful Theory had a slight flaw: it explained the whole Cosmos with nary a hitch, but his Theory couldn't explain Doctor Fitch!
....."A mere detail," he said, "which is easily missed." Then he published his findings, and ceased to exist.
..........— F. Gwynplaine MacIntyre (1948 – apparent suicide, 2010), journalist, novelist, poet and illustrator, who lived in Wales and New York City. Macintyre's Improbable Bestiary: Perverse Verse and Odious Odes (2001), "OPPS!". "OPPS!" first appeared in Analog magazine (March 1991), but due to a typographical error, MacIntyre's name did not appear on the credits. I recommend reading the brief bio in Wikipedia for an introduction into his tortured life. He was a fascinating writer, but one very sick puppy.

I remember reading about Froggy's death, but I've never actually read any of his works until now. Thank you.
