farewell my friend

this morning i learned that a friend of mine, rory root, has passed away. he was the owner of comic relief comics in berkeley

he went into emergency surgery for a ruptured hernia yesterday, slipped into a coma and never woke.

this makes me terribly sad. he was such a delight to know. his interest in comics of all genres, eras, and styles was very deep. we spent many hours over the years discussing our mutual love.

please rest in peace, rory. you shall be greatly missed.
