Sad to hear the news about Don Donahue's passing. Prostate cancer stopped him. But in the beginning of the underground comix movement, Don was there to help kick-start the party. That I've come to know.
I wasn't around back then. I met him later, in the 1980s, through my association with San Francisco & the Bay Area comics scene, Weirdo, Ron Turner, Aline and Robert C. I always found him to be soft-spoken and attentive. A really nice guy.
I got to know him more through Dori Seda. And when she passed away, Don was . . . well I can tell you that it was so very tough on him -- he was so sad. We all were. And here I am this evening back in that same place with sad thoughts of Don & (I can't help it) Dori.
Rest-in-peace, Don Donahue. Thanks for your contributions.
