Drowning his sorrows

Description

I did this pic to pay my respects to James Avery, the famous actor who died back on December 31, 2013.

For the curious, he is probably best known for playing Will Smith's Uncle Phil on the hit 1990 sitcom The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, and in the animation field probably best known for doing the voice of the Shredder in the classic 1980s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon series. 

For the pic, I thought it might be appropriate for Shredder to head over to Moe's Tavern for a beer due to this loss.  I decided not to have him looking sad because... well, he's supposed to be a supervillain, and he's not going to look all that imposing with tears, so he's just going to use his hands to show that he wants more beer. 

I know you probably don't want the villain to win on your favorite cartoon series, but for a character to lose his voice actor is a fate most unkind.
