He was found dead at 2320 last night after someone called the police to do a welfare check on him., he could have been dead for at least a day before he was found.

It's always hard to see a long-standing community figure go. I can't claim to have been a dedicated fan, but I was always abreast of the comic. He was loved and will be missed.

Oh, that's terrible. Just like everyone else, I only had great interactions with him. I can only hope friends and family can find peace with his passing.

This guy was always there. The very earliest Furry are in the mid-nineties ... he was already there when I started collecting.

Although I have to admit I had no idea who he was. Now I do. ;(

Oh wow. I was never a huge fan, but like

said, he was an ever-present person in the fandom. I remember him from YERF back in the late 90s.

Rest in peace, guy. :(

For a second, I thought it was a famous movie actor. Sorry to hear of his passing, though.

I'm truly wrecked...and I can't even imagine how CW must be...that is, if she knows about it already. ;_;

This is very sad news.
He was a very prolific and talented artist. I followed his comic and loved his very recognizable style.
I can't say we were particularly close but we had a few comment exchanges in FA and he seemed to be a great person too.

Should you pass on suddenly & unexpectedly -like some friends I knew- I hope you would have a contingency plan (a synopsis of the story you were currently doing, so another artist can continue & finish it.) TinTin's last adventure was never finished as he left no notes. Neither did Lin Carter ever finish Amalric or even leave notes.

If I die the official story is the pig continued to travel across space forever...

I never knew him but I have certainly seen his works for the longest time. My heart goes out to his friends and family. I know this news will be devastating to them.

Rest in peace...

Awww gosh. I just heard a bit ago! It's so sad! I loved all the stuff he and Kat and their friends got up to growing up. He was a huge inspiration!

The most moving astounding tribute is one by Mrioef (or whoever) who does Wile E. & Dottie Coyote. I favorited it,in case you have problems finding it.
