I passed by here Tuesday night and noticed the memorials in the window. Rory was such a fixture of Berkeley; I probably saw him every work day for the past seven years on my way home from BART, standing outside smoking. I didn't realize how important he'd been for the growing stature of comics in the US.

Tom at the comics reporter does a great job putting some perspective on Rory's passing.

Comic Relief is a freaking inspirational store. I wish I were closer to it.

When I lived up in NoCal and came down to the city a couple of times a year, a trip to Comic Relief was almost as crucial as a trip to Amoeba. RIP, dude who I always saw in the store and never talked to.
