Sir,

I apologize in advance for being morbidly curious, but I have recently
discovered the wit and wisdom of Mr. Hoffnug and am decidedly hooked on his
brand of humor.

One small question though, if I may. Everywhere on the internet where I
read any biographical information about him, invariably the phrase that is
use is.... "died tragically at the age of 34". I know this is perfectly
awful to ask, but what happened to Mr. Hoffnug?

Thank you very much for your kind response. I look forward to purchasing
some items from your online store in the near future.

Best wishes,

Risa French

But this was not to be, for suddenly one day in September 1959, without
warning, he collapsed in his study. Two hours later without recovering
consciousness, he died as a result of the cerebral haemorrhage from which he
had suffered.
