He was one of the people who inspired me to draw (even though none of my pictures got picked out for the Hart Gallery). I loved Morph, even tried to make my own while I was in school, but it got all squished in the pencil case, what with all the pencils, rubbers, and whatnot in there. He first appeared in 1977, the year I was born, wow, that was a long time ago. And I really couldn't believe he was teaching kids how to draw on telly for 50 years.

UPDATE: Even Stephen Fry tweeted about it.
