Re: Cliff Van Meter Passed Away Yesterday
That's sad news. I am happy to have spoken to him a few times, with a few pieces of his art in my home. One is a commission he did for me to surprise my wife for the dogs we had at the time.

A fine artist and a wonderful person.

Oh man, that's terrible news. I remember seeing the thread about him having financial problems (due to health issues) on the Charities and Community Service board.
Here's the obituary for anyone interested.

Re: Cliff Van Meter Passed Away Yesterday
I just saw this news today. I worked with Cliff back in the '90s, along with a couple other Valiant alumni, at a small comic-coloring company on Long Island. Sad news.
If you're not a *SQUEE*, you're okay with me.
