Hi folks. Apologies for being late posting this comic. I’m going to be posting three comics this week to make up for it, so keep coming back.
This comic is delayed because a week ago Sunday, my husband Eric died. (It still feels weird to say it.) He had a rare form of brain cancer, and none of the treatments the doctors tried were effective enough to cure him.
Eric was the original Finn MacArthur to my Charlie Buonaugura—the curmudgeon to my goofball. In fact, Finn was named for Phineas Finn, a character in a series of Anthony Trollope books that were some of Eric’s favorites. (Charlie was named “Charlie” because it flowed nicely with “Finn”. It all starts with Finn.)
Oh, no – I’m so very sorry.
The obit didn’t mention where donations can be made?
We’re asking donations be made to ArtReach (artreachchicago.org) or your local arts education charity. Thanks.
My condolences…
I realize that we haven’t had a lot of interactions (me being a regular but often silent reader), but I would just like to say that I’m sure you two have brought magnificent colors to each other’s life, just as you’re constantly bringing magnificent colors to us readers through your stories and comics. And I’m very grateful for that. Hope all continues to be well.
My sincerest condolences on your loss. In Judaism, we say, “May the bereaved know no more sorrow.”
Oh my god, I’m so sorry Tony. I knew things had gotten bad, but didn’t realize just how bad they were 🙁 *big big big big bear hugs*
my condolences.
Deepest condolences, Tony. Please know that through your work, you and Eric have illuminated our lives, many people’s lives. Big hugs.
I’m so sorry to hear of your loss. May your good memories of times with him comfort you during this period.
Good grief, man! Why are you apologizing for posting late? I’m shocked you posted this week at all. Condolences and well wishes.
I’ve read and enjoyed your comics for some years now…. I am so sorry for your loss. May the memories of your time together give you comfort in the coming days and months.
I’m so sorry for your loss. I’ve read your comics for years. Your comments about your life and your husband were always an added bonus.
I only know you through the comics and instagram, but please accept my sincere condolences.
My condolences, hope you find solace soon, lots of hugs from all your readers
I was so saddened to read this, Tony, and so late. Love and warm wishes from a reader of many years and proud owner of several of your commissions. May your husband be immortalized in the character he inspired.
I have been a fan of your comic for several years now. I’m so sorry to hear of your loss. My condolences.
So very sorry to hear. I saw you guys at FlameCon last year, and I’ve been a big fan of your comics. Condolences, as inadequate as they are.
I’ve been reading your webcomic for a while, and have really enjoyed it. I know I’m almost a year late, but wanted to add my sympathy for your loss.
We just caught up to this point in the comics, which is why this is so “late”. But I know the grief just goes on, so this is not at all late, unfortunately.
But, man, that really sucks. Sending thoughts of eventual peace for you.
