Couch Kitties Special: In Memoriam
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/42271012/
Instead of a strip this week,
rabbi-tom has kindly given permission for me to present this.
Shep was a good friend, compadre' and like a brother to me, thus he deserves the full color treatment (Colored by Richard Konkle).
Shep was also part of first fandom, active in Rowrbrazzle , Huzzah and a familiar sight at mostly west coast cons. Creator of the comic Stosstrupp and the creator of the viking era , Rossweisse. Shep's quiet voice was his standard, I can only recall him actually seriously raising his voice a few times. Plus he had a quick wit and had a prankster side as well. When Karno once jokingly drew Shep as Godzilla, calling it 'Tedzilla' , showing him towering over people 'yelling' "roar" and the people looking up all asking "What?" "Whats it saying?" Many of the Tucson mob took delight saying "Tedzilla!" . Where Shep would then walk up to Karno and kick him in the shins, much to Karno's protests. Sometimes we'd do this 2-3 times to where Karno would jump back and hold off Shep.
And was a US Marine and later on, active with the US Army reserves crewing M-109A3s. His collections of WW2 Japanese gear was impressive, along with a decent Roman era items and coins. Shep was a antiquer at heart and knew his stuff when searching it out. He certainly taught me many things and what to look for.
Shep also sadly contracted a hyperly aggressive form of lupus last year and the last 2 months of his life was a roller-coaster of his body reacting to the disease. Sadly succumbing to it on June 5th.
I'm seriously going to miss him. Vaya Con Dios old friend.
