My OC is 'Goldie', the shiny half of the strange and sexy, weird and kinky super-duo Komos & Goldie. (She's my "non-furry fursona.")
Read Komos & Goldie's ongoing comicbook adventures starting here. I dedicate the comic to my dear departed stepdad (R.I.P.), who was one of its biggest fans.

R.I.P. my dear mother Nadine (1951-2024), to whom I owe everything.
A kind, brave and wonderful woman who died because of medical negligence.
"The growing good of the world is partly dependent on unhistoric acts; and that things are not so ill with you and me as they might have been, is half owing to the number who lived faithfully a hidden life, and rest in unvisited tombs."
-- last lines of the novel Middlemarch by George Eliot, quoted at both my mother's and father's funerals. R.I.P.
"This life's hard, man. But it's HARDER if you're STUPID."
-- from the movie The Friends of Eddie Coyle (1973)
"We're overdosed on American pop culture. We could stand a little something else."
-- Pauline Kael, 1994

My mother's death makes the local news (G)
2 months ago
Ten months to the day since I lost my dear mother Nadine, which was the result of medical negligence.
When the hospital denied my compensation claim, I felt I had to fight on for her sake; it was the least I, her only child, could do. Fortunately, I succeeded in interesting the editor of a local newspaper in her sad story.
Thank you Enfield Dispatch for shining a light on this tragedy!

If you're waiting on test results from your doctor or hospital, don't assume 'No News is Good News' -- chase them up!
Some good can come out of this nightmare, if it motivates people to follow up on their health. I can take comfort from that and I know my mother would too.
