I was too young to have read Thompson in his prime, but all the after-the-fact reading I've done of his work was great. The end he came to was incredibly sad, but not without a certain narrative logic that I think he appreciated.
Ironically, the most lasting impact of his life will probably be in having inspired the creation of Duke. In like 90+ years of writing the thing, it's the only time Doonesbury's comic strip has succeeded in being comic.

Seems like such a profound example of poetic justice. . .
