The man was a cultural landmark. They should make an animatronic "Andy" that plays/speaks all of his recorded monologues from across the decades, and put it on display in the Smithsonian. RIP!

One of the best books I read was a collection of his essays. He was a master. I always use him as a reference for my students.
