R.I.P. Cal Worthington

He is presumably survived by his dog Spot

Cal Worthington, of the famous west coast Cal Worthington Ford car ads, has died at the age of 92. Cal's ads, featuring "my dog Spot" (which was never a dog and usually something bizarre like an elephant) were a staple of late-night television from the 1960s to the 1990s. 

The man may be gone, but his jingle will live on forever.
