February 2, 2012. Joe Lizura Blog. A sad day today as the news came out that the creator of the
Etch a Sketch has passed away in France. Anyone who was a child in the 60s and 70s grew up playing with the Etch a Sketch. I remember when I was about 5 and I had to spend a week in the hospital, my parents brought me the one toy I couldn't live without - my Etch a Sketch. Long before we had video games we used our imaginations to create countless sketches on that thing. I remember playing with that toy like it was yesterday! I also remember when I finally put it aside for good when my family got it's first video game - the game was
Pong. Rest in peace Mr. Cassagnes. Here is a link to the story:
