Please stop dying. Staaahhhppp iiiittt!

With the exception of Doug Winger, most of you aren't even close to retirement age yet, yet you are dropping like flies. There is no excuse for this, so just stop it already.

Thank you.

As for the rest of you, RIP, and thanks for all the art and comics. Most of you didn't do anything wrong. You just had a creative impulse that happened to express itself through furry art. Visual art especially is never more dignified by its subject matter alone, so drawing humans would not have made your work automatically more worthwhile, contrary to popular belief. No matter what anyone says, you didn't ruin anything.

And by the way, I know that some of you, like Hardiman for example, expressed the idea that your silly comics and moments of humor had not been a proper evolution of your work or as worthwhile an exercise. I respectfully disagree. Making us laugh with your wacky furry characters was as wonderful a gift as you could ever have hoped to give, and wherever you are, you should never regret having done that.
