Superhero Obituaries-Lightfoot; Friend to the Animals

Tuscan Arizona—
The superhero known as Lightfoot died after falling (or being pushed, Police still investigating mysterious sounds heard earlier in the day coming from his apartment) off his apartment building on Thursday the 17th of July.

Lightfoot, who wore trademark blue boots and a fedora with chicken feathers on it dyed purple and yellow, will be laid to rest on Saturday, in a private ceremony.

Lightfoot got into the super hero business as a vigilante who hunted down animal abusers. Later in his career he was spotted eating live chickens and stomping on mice.

Disgraced, he briefly changed his name to The Geekanator and moved to France where he married Songstress, famous herself for her ability to pierce the eardrums of her enemies, thereby rendering them deaf.

Lightfoot was believed to be eighty eight years old and sired a son by Songstress, Dave McCombersome, an actor in commercials for beef.
