Over on GA I noticed that they had a post letting people know Comicality has passed away. I don't have any details beyond that. I exchanged only a few emails with him, one set for permission to post his 'My Only Escape'. I had the impression some of the themes for that story were autobiographical for him.

I was really glad that he managed to finish My Only Escape. I wasn't around when he finished it, and I couldn't quite think of the right things to say, but I think it was probably really important for him to bring it to the conclusion. I actually had to read some of it backwards (in chapter order) to relieve the pressure of it.
New Kid had gotten into a really weird place, I think he wanted to keep it running open ended, but the major plot-driving issues had been worked out and time had gone sort of parabolic in that story, it's been the same week for the last twenty years, and the episodes were down to a few minutes each.
My Only Escape is a dark story, alright, but I think it's good that a copy of it is available here. It's certainly not Comsie's most popular work, but I think you can make a case the most important.
