This Father Ted cartoon sums up everyone's sadness at Frank Kelly's death

Amid the rolling election results today, came the sad news that Frank Kelly had died.

Best known and much loved for his portrayal of Father Jack, Kelly passed away on what was the 18th anniversary of the death of co-star and fellow TV priest, Dermot Morgan.

And despite the wall-to-wall election coverage, tributes have been pouring in all day - and this one from cartoonist Rob Stears really hits home.

Feck.
