    Michael Key -- a former NYDN writer -- and the YES Network just offered a very nice tribute to Bill.

    Irreplaceable. Like the entire genre of editorial cartooning. Newspapers are so, so much poorer without them.

    RIP Mr. Gallo.

    That edition didn't make it on to the Island. I hope this is somehow tomorrow's early edition back. Would be nice to get one.

    Drew Litton put up on Facebook that Gallo was the last sports cartoonist in print.

    He grew up a Cardinals fan. Well, if he wasn't going to root for a local team, at least he picked a winner.

    Spreading the word in the Philippines. This short article about Bill Gallo's admiration for Manny Pacquiao has so far received over 12,000 views in 24 hrs - and slew of very kind words from Filipino readers.
