from the latest ALL THE RAGE:

"As readers of Clifford Meth’s Past Masters are already aware, Bill Messner-Loebs’ situation is quickly becoming more dire. Yesterday, Meth checked in with a quick update:

Bill's situation gets worse everyday insofar as there is a clock ticking on his living situation (they are currently, he and his wife, in the basement of a church competing for cot space) while his wife's health deteriorates.

People can PayPal any donation directly to bloebs@yahoo.com

As for The Three Tenors: Off Key project, the creators aboard now include Messner-Loebs, myself, Dave Cockrum, and Al Milgrom (who will be doing some inking); Dave Sim (introduction), Tom Spurgeon (afterword) and Michael Netzer (back cover). If everyone who reads comics were to buy this book (or just send him a few dollars via PayPal), Bill would have cash for a long, long time.

Bill Loebs has done some damn fine comics, including the recently collected Epicurus the Sage and The Maxx, both series deserve to be read more widely... and if you feel so inclined a little cash to help out in a time of need would not go amiss either...

I thought his run on the Flash was pretty fun too.

I dug Epicurus the Sage for the 2 times it came out from the ill-fated Pirahna Press.

The recent Epicurus collection from Cliffhanger features two extended stories (one colour, one b&w) that didn't appear in the original Pirana Press versions...

Does anybody have any idea what Mr Loebs‘ status is now? After that benefit sketchbook that came out awhile ago, I have not been able to find any news on him.

Cockrum, Meth & Messner-Loebs form The Three Tenors
Everyone at Aardwolf is singing about The Three Tenors: Offkey -- a new bizarre collection of heroic and tragic tales from the unorthodox trio of Dave Cockrum, Clifford Meth and Bill Messner-Loebs (with a little help from their friends). The Three Tenors is Aardwolf's three-part effort to get Bill Messner-Loebs writing again, get Dave Cockrum drawing again, and get Clifford Meth off our backs. This signed/numbered Limited Edition of just 400 copies are guaranteed to sell out quickly, so order yours now.
