A Coat To Fill
When I received the news of Jesse’s passing I was troubled as to what action I should take. Obviously there were issues with how best to tend to Bethaney and Bridget, then there were the questions about any memorial, wake, or celebration of life. Apparently funeral is not only a word that elicits sorrow, but it’s no longer PC.
One of the questions that arose in my mind is where does that leave my comic, there were 2 paths I saw I could take. The first was to separate Jesse from his comic alter ego and continue to pay tribute to him. The second was, using gaming vernacular that he would’ve loved, to retire his character once and for all. I chose the latter, and though I’ve a couple of gauche comics pertaining to my version of World Without A Superman I believed when drawing this that this was the best choice.
Time though, has passed and I may have discovered a third option. Jesse was someone who no matter how long you knew him, you had at least 1 story about him, myself I’ve dozens of stories, true and false that I wanted to tell.
In time I intend to go more into that 3rd option, but for now I’m signing off.
