Cerebus Around the World and Web #9 by Oliver Simonsen

Hi, Everybody.

Before we get into it, Blair Kitchen, creator of The Possum, Friend to the Blog, and all around nice guy, has passed away.

From his Facebook:

For our friends and family who have been concerned about Blair. He developed a blood clot in his brain last Monday and has been in ICU. Unfortunately it caused extensive damage and he passed away just before 3am Jan 5th. I will post funeral details when I have them. Rochelle

My deepest condolences go out to Blair's family. I expect I'll be talking about this more tomorrow.

Blair Kitchen, who Dave Sim traditionally spends Christmas with, is the creator of the indie comic Possum. Blair's animation can currently be seen on the NetFlix show "Green Eggs and Ham" and he was working on a Possum animated film as well. He developed a blood clot last Monday. I posted about his incredible work just the day before at "A Moment of Cerebus"

Here Blair draws his character The Possum with Cerebus and some tiger.

I was thinking about doing a "Necross destroys the universe?" spin off long ago (Necross is only in issue #15, not counting when he appears as Thrunk). Here's a sketch that i posted in the Cerebus facebook group way back when
