Thanks to a number of generous, caring folks — many of them readers of this here blog — Bob Kahan may have achieved in two days of donations, the amount of loot he needs to not get tossed out of his apartment for Christmas. I say "may have" because a few of the donations may not be legit and Bob has wisely increased his target amount so he can take in enough to make certain. Please…go over there and let's get him over the five grand mark so when he goes to court next Friday, he absolutely has the cash he believes will keep him in his home.
And while we're at it: I have worked with a lot of editors in comics, ranging from the legendary (Archie Goodwin, Julius Schwartz, Chase Craig) to guys who couldn't find the Men's Room unless a freelancer told them where it was and what to do in it. Bob was very good at putting together books and getting them off to press…and there are plenty of publishing houses — not just of comics — that could profit from having him on the premises. A guy like that shouldn't be out of work for a week, let alone a year. Spread the word, people.
