All kidding aside, folks, this was very cool. Many heartfelt
thanks to Glen, Steve and Darrel, and all the other convention staff
members; many thanks also to the kind artists who donated their fine
works, and the many fans who bought them. You all have no idea how
much this is helping. Seriously, man.
What I've got so far will pay for a little more than half of all
the work. The doctor is allowing me to make payments on the balance,
which is a big help. I cannot wait to get back to 100% so I can
start drawing again, instead of just being stuck with rough drafts
and such.
Thanks again to all of you for helping me out of this jam. I hope
I can find a suitable way to pay everyone back.
