Oh boy...

 

[kyldyer]

Doesn't this belong in the Cafe or something?Sorry to hear about it though.

This is General Animation discussion, and he has written for A LOT of animation. I think it's on-topic.

 

[zoldemayo]

I feel sorry for the guy. I hope he wins.

 

[Lieutenant C]

Wow! Wishing him all the best.

I really like his horror-crime drama novel Night Hunter.

 

[ladyblaster5]

I really hope and pray this will turn out alright.

Sad to hear, he wrote the Cthulu episode of the Real Ghostbusters, probably one of the best episodes of the show.

So sad, my grandfather passed away from it and I saw the full affect of it.

 

[twi-girl]

Best wishes to him and his family.

The irony of this is that I just saw the Batman TAS episode Vendetta today which had his name in the opening credits. I think he wrote or directed the episode, I forget.

Sad news. Hope the guy does alright for some time.

 

[Nazaih K]

SIGH.

May god help us.

 

[Julianna {TSL}]

This is sad to hear. My dad has early stage Parkinson's and it can be tough to deal with.

Best of wishes to him.

You hate to see this kind of thing happen to someone who has contributed so much to a field that you enjoy so much.

My thoughts are with him...

 

[Anner]

That's terrible news. I hope things will get better from him.

My thoughts are with him and his family.

 

[Vergina]

Man, that breaks my heart.

Michael Reaves actually said himself that if you grew up watching cartoons in the 80's, which I did, he probably had more to do with raising you than your parents did, and truer words have never been spoken.

The man is a hero, a visionary, and a singularly gifted storyteller. Don't believe me? Watch the Season Two episode of Dungeons and Dragons called "The Dragon's Graveyard."

I hate to bump this thread, but I really want to know how Reaves is doing now. I've prayed for both him and Gene Colan to get better every night for several months now, and with Gene Colan's recent passing, I would like to know how Reaves is doing health-wise at the moment.

Man, I hope the guy makes it through alright.
