Date of death[edit]

According to the article since its first edit the date of death is May 17, 2002. According to everal sources like the Encyclopädia Britannica (http://www.britannica.com/eb/question-862953/51/David-Berg-died) and http://lambiek.net/artists/b/berg_david.htm it is May 16, 2002. -- Ilion2 16:03, 8 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The 17th is probably the correct date. This appears to be a copy of the original release, and it states

Berg, whose expertly drawn strips largely ignored current events and

political issues of the day to poke fun at the foibles of American

life, died on May 17 of cancer at his home in the Los Angeles suburb of

Marina del Rey, Nancy Berg said.

She said her father, who had been battling cancer and would have turned

82 on June 12, died shortly after midnight with his wife of 52 years,

Vivian, and their two children at his side.

I typed in "Roger Kaputnik" on a whim and was redirected to this article with that wonderful self-portrait. Hahaha! Well done. Rosekelleher (talk) 13:21, 30 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Roger Kaputnik[edit]

Dave Berg's self-caricatures in his Lighter Sides weren't always named Roger Kaputnik. Dave gave his alter ego random names such as Mitch Kinkle, Mr. Dudd or Sam. Other random characters were named Roger Kaputnik. It was approximately in the 2nd half of Dave's career that his alter ego gelled with Roger Kaputnik.
