Seems there's a lot of bad news to go around lately. I was just informed by DireWolf505 that one of the greatest furry artists, Ted Sheppard, just died today. It cuts pretty deep, because I've corresponded with him before.

Sheppard made all sorts of furry art, and was part of a famous group of artists known as the "Tuscon Mob", but his best-known accomplishment was the Stosstrupp comic series, which remains one of my favorite furry comics. As far as I know, Stosstrupp is unfinished.
