Has anyone considered asking his estate if they would mind his being immortalized into say...a Star Munchkin card. Maybe naming an upcoming Ogre Hawk (which we could probably get away with more easily)?

Re: March 15, 2018: Dr. Stephen Hawking
I see various references to his PhD ... not a doctor then?
Also, he was a pop icon, from the Simpsons to Pink Floyd ... |

Ferguson, Kitty (2011). Stephen Hawking: His Life and Work. Transworld. ISBN 978-1-4481-1047-6. This book claims he got a Doctorate in March 1966.

https://www.repository.cam.ac.uk/handle/1810/251038 I very sincerely doubt that Cambridge would post false information about one of their most famous alumni on their own website. I have no idea where the meme about Stephen Hawking never receiving a doctorate came from, but it is most assuredly untrue. |
