Thanks Tom. I was going by the mentioned dates on his website. Still sucks etc. What an amazing body of work though. Not perfect of course, nothing is. But definitely amazing.

NYers: Anne Russ Federman, 97, the last surviving daughter of Russ & Daughters appetizing store. She started working at the store at age 14, which means c. 1935. She died one day after Yom Kippur, one of the rare days in the year Russ & Daughters is closed.

Apparently Norm Breyfogle, probably most famous for his Batman art of the early 90s. He had a stroke a couple of years ago, I know.

Yeah. I had no idea he was still alive, but apparently he was mostly inactive since having a stroke in 2003. This is such an amazing song (he re-recorded it in the early 70s, but the original just kills):

Yeah, those Cobra sides are all killer.I saw Otis once, in 1987, opening for Los Lobos. To this day, he’s the only opening act I’ve seen where the audience demanded an encore.

Carlos Ezquerra, arguably the definitive Judge Dredd artist and co-creator of Strontium Dog.
― Bimlo Horsewagon became Wheelbarrow Horseflesh (aldo), Monday, 1 October 2018 12:47 (five years ago) link
Oh damn, RIP. According to the 2000AD documentary, Ezquerra did the initial designs for Judge Dredd and Mega City One, even though Mike McMahon was the one who drew the first strips because of some internal disputes. So it would be fair to call him the co-creator of Dredd too.

by which i mean he was polite to me while i bitched at him about how i don't fuck with DC any more because of rape culture. can't ask for any more than that.
actually, it was worse than that - i don't always enunciate terribly well and he said "i'm sorry, what culture?", so I wound up screaming "RAPE!" into his face. it was a little awkward, but i guess when you work cons you have to deal with some awkward shit.
