An Open Note to Joe Kubert

[dewline]

I've met you all of one time, I believe, Mr. Kubert, during a student-candidate screening interview well over a decade ago. I've not been able to follow through on it in the years since for reasons that don't bear going into right now. Whether we've passed each other in the hall or dealers' rooms at any conventions, I don't know or remember.

None of which matters right now.

I just now saw the notice on ComicMix about Mrs. Kubert.

I just wanted to say: I'm sorry.

For your loss, your family's loss, the pain you're going through and are going to go through in the months and years ahead.
