"So Much of His Brain is Damaged"
November 14, 2008 4:50 PM Subscribe
Cartoonist S. Clay Wilson was found badly drunk and badly beaten not long ago. He has suffered a severe brain injury. It's touch and go whether he will be long for this world or what kind of life he'll have if he makes it. May the Checkered Demon protect his own!

[...] Any artist who has ever drawn a zombie, a demon, a pirate, or a perverse sexual act (and that's pretty much every slob reading this) owes a staggering debt to the subversive genius of S. Clay Wilson. Send your thoughts to the man this week. We're in your corner, S. Clay! Get well soon..." Steve Duin wrote: "Five days after two Good Samaritans discovered S. Clay Wilson lying face down and unconscious between two parked cars on Landers Street in San Francisco, the 67-year-old underground cartoonist remains in the intensive-care unit at San Francisco General with no significant improvements in his condition."

This post was deleted for the following reason: I'm sorry to hear about this, but links to google searches do not make for good posts. If you want to go through those results and find some actual good content and try again tomorrow, that'd be a-okay with us, but this isn't the way to do it right here. -- cortex

Sure you could have linked to something more helpful than the obvious google searches?

You couldn't do the man any better justice than two links to Google search results and couple of blog posts?
