I wish I had told him: man, take me with you when you go.

Oh shit I forgot to say, I was talking to Martin last night and he said he hope that will be back, at least on ILC, eventually. He's just had a particularly bad patch, for no particular reason that I know of, and retreated to 'core functions' for a while and is re-adding bits of his life to his routine as and when he can. ILX is definitely on the list. He sends his love to all, particularly Ned + Dan + Ally.

Hahaha I can totally see him saying this.

He seemed fine last time I saw him

I went to Fopp yesterday and he was not there.

Say hi to him for me, and I hope to see him on ILC soon (not that I'm around much anymore, myself).

what were the first two Piranhas? Beautiful Stories #1, I'm guessing, and... Epicurus or Gregory? the pinefox's cropping gives no clue.

...wait, Conrad? That hideous-looking ETC thing was by a Tim Conrad and the Milestone dude who had a CBG column where he just talked about Hollywood and got a 15-year headstart on dismissing haters, right?

kris menace isn't even french (sic), Sunday, 27 March 2011 01:41 (thirteen years ago) link

I still miss Martin.

Christine Green Leafy Dragon Indigo, Sunday, 27 March 2011 02:15 (thirteen years ago) link

He's around on LJ.

Ward Fowler, Sunday, 27 March 2011 08:27 (thirteen years ago) link

I was going to mention that but wasnt sure if he wanted it here or not. But yes, best wishes Martin.

Borads of Candida (Trayce), Sunday, 27 March 2011 08:31 (thirteen years ago) link

oh - very good luck with prognosis and further treatment, Martin (-in-absentia)

kris menace isn't even french (sic), Sunday, 27 March 2011 09:19 (thirteen years ago) link

Oh, fuck. I hope this turns out OK.

Christine Green Leafy Dragon Indigo, Sunday, 27 March 2011 16:31 (thirteen years ago) link

oh no, best wishes to martin!

Algerian Goalkeeper, Sunday, 27 March 2011 16:35 (thirteen years ago) link

Look towards the positive as he suggests -- best wishes for him, for sure.

Ned Raggett, Sunday, 27 March 2011 16:38 (thirteen years ago) link

I kept meaning to email him for ages and never did it.

Algerian Goalkeeper, Sunday, 27 March 2011 16:40 (thirteen years ago) link

If you're friends with him on Facebook I strongly suggest reading his note he just posted.

Ned Raggett, Saturday, 2 April 2011 20:29 (thirteen years ago) link

I'm not on FB, but he emailed me an hour ago as I emailed him the other day. I still haven't been able to work out what to say in a reply. All my best thoughts go out to you Martin if you're reading this.

I've posted a sympathy reply on FB and I'd like to join in with you in support.

Christine Green Leafy Dragon Indigo, Saturday, 2 April 2011 22:20 (thirteen years ago) link

Ned/Suzy, i emailed martin but as i dont have FB please could you send him my support? Thanks.

Algerian Goalkeeper, Saturday, 2 April 2011 22:22 (thirteen years ago) link

This is just horrible. :-(

Nathalie (stevienixed), Sunday, 3 April 2011 10:04 (thirteen years ago) link

I don't know what to say, it's awful.

Tuomas, Sunday, 3 April 2011 10:18 (thirteen years ago) link

hopefully someone can pass on good wishes to Martin on whatever further developments or prognoses may or may not have occurred

it's in my backpack (sic), Sunday, 3 April 2011 11:05 (thirteen years ago) link

i'm gonna give martin a call later today and will pass on ppl's good wishes.

Ward Fowler, Sunday, 3 April 2011 11:38 (thirteen years ago) link

Thank you, please do that.

Tuomas, Sunday, 3 April 2011 12:10 (thirteen years ago) link

Best wishes and internet hugs, Martin.

ka£ka (NickB), Sunday, 3 April 2011 15:17 (thirteen years ago) link

had a gd long chat w martin. he doesn't want his illness to be any kind of secret and is happy for ppl to talk abt it on ilx. he also thanked ppl for their emails and gd wishes, here and elsewhere.

one thing that wld cheer him up, i think, is to get many more submissions for FA
http://comiczine-fa.com/ - so get writing!

Ward Fowler, Monday, 4 April 2011 18:50 (thirteen years ago) link

Im glad Martin knows all his online friends are here to offer him all the support he needs. Wish there was something we could do.

Algerian Goalkeeper, Monday, 4 April 2011 18:51 (thirteen years ago) link

I have been butting heads with a guy irl who has nothing good to say about Martin from the Trident era so this is a welcome palate cleanser. Thanks Ward.

martin was lovely, friendly, generous and very open, one of the ppl who made me stick around this place when i discovered it

H in Addis, Tuesday, 16 April 2013 22:19 (eleven years ago) link

i never interacted with him, but from reading his posts here as well as his pieces on Freaky Trigger, i could tell he was a great guy.
