My cousin Donita and her husband Doug Smith died in an early morning house fire on May 25th.
The family and I have been posting thoughts and photos on our Facebook pages. She was my favorite cousin all through my childhood, and he was my best friend all through high school. I introduced them, they married and had two wonderful boys.
Doug and I created A Deviant Mind together back in 1980…he was the one who created Tayge and Lucky and gave them to me to use in the series. It wouldn't be until 2010 that I would bring the characters back, and it would be my son Alex and I who really brought them to life.
I didn't post yesterday because I spent the day going through every stage of grief that exists, and by 10 pm I was exhausted. When we finally get around to A Deviant Mind #15, Door At The Edge of Nowhere, I'll be dedicating that issue to Doug.
Love you guys and miss you.

I'm posting early because weekends are dead here on the Duck, and it takes you guys a couple days to drag in here and comment. ;)

Early again. Looks like a violation of the low tech rule.
