  • I filmed this before my day job this morning. My mind has been swirling about everything that has happened this week with Ed Piskor. I have been torn all day about whether I should post this. Not wanting to look like I am posting it for views, but I guarantee I'm not(hence no hashtags or any of that social media stuff). It's just my way of grieving a man who I never knew personally but felt like a friend. Rest easy, Ed.

    Dude, I choke up when you roll the tape and I hear Ed’s voice. I spent many great mornings and lunch breaks listening and watching the channel. They are a big part of my life. Rest in peace Ed you are missed

      Likewise in every point you just made. I'm just glad that Jim is doing what Ed asked in his letter...keeping the channel going, at leaast for now.

    You are not a "nobody" Colin, you are very important and a positive influence to so many people. Please keep being creative and continue to work through your tough times; your friends and fans love your books and, more importantly, care very much about you and your well-being. Thank you for making this video, I appreciate your courage when speaking about difficult topics like this.

      Thanks Paul...that means alot. And if anyone wants to talk about being a positive influence, it is you, my friend. I think Ed would want everyone to keep up the good fight as far as comic book making goes. Some of the best people I've met and have become friends with have been because of it.

    Great words man. I and what seems like thousands as i read the comments, share those same sentiments. There is a hole in this community and in my life now. I never met him personally, but his impact on this fellow saskatchawaner was huuge.

    • @colinworkart
      @colinworkart  Před 2 měsíci +1

      Yeah...totally agree. It's not that I didn't appreciate his talent and such when he was still with us...but like the old saying goes "you don't know what you have till it's gone".

    i was very used to listening to them
    like you say they are like a couple of friends
    when u listen everyday
    Ed was a unique reviewer of comics i loved his style
    very good questions when interviewing famous artists
    he knew everything there is to know about comics
    such a big loss for this community
    i cant even imagine his family now has to go trough
    all of Ed's art all the art he kept from when he was
    little eddy p....... the pain must be unbearable
    i own some issues of x men grand design
    finally yesterday i bought hip hop family tree omnibus
    i have been meaning to do it
    im sad i didnt buy one when he was alive
    thanks for this video, that's awesome Ed looked at your
    comics!!

    Some people would troll people who are on the edge. Edge them on and even dare them. Not talking to them in their last hours even when they reach out does hurt. Trust me I know. I knew someone who was dealing with depression and I was blind to it. She was cheerful and happy all the time I saw her. But much like Robin Williams and I thought there was zero chance for him but it happened. She messaged me with a "Hay" and I left the message unread. I truly didn't know what she was going through. Could there have been a chance of her still being around if I talked to her? It haunts me. She had several trolls edging her on in her last posts that likely took her over the edge but these were her friends. Some of her friends were announcing that she had passed while the trolling continued for days after. We never knew what people are dealing with. I have dealt with some depression for several years as you know and had zero help in it when I was the active victim. I only started receiving help once I was on the healing side.
