RIP Martin Pasko

So.

Martin died Sunday night and I found out late Monday. Other people knew him better than I did. I was one of a few hundred friendly semi-regular acquaintances of his on Facebook. I enjoyed some of his comics writing, and probably some of his TV scripting too without making the connection until today.

Oh, and I got reminded by the various obits of this: he started out Canadian. Born in Québec under another name.

It still hurts.

Glad I knew him at all, though.

Call it stuff that civil defense planners, science fiction writers and citizens in general need to take interest in.
