Eric Reynolds talks about Dan Clowes recent open heart surgery:
I wanted to extend, on behalf of all of Fantagraphics, our best wishes for a speedy recovery for Mr. Daniel Clowes, one of my favorite people in the whole wide world (and my favorite artist). Dan underwent open-heart surgery last Tuesday in Northern California to repair a defective mitral valve. As scary as open-heart surgery is, Dan was cracking jokes right up to the day he went into the hospital, and the surgery was declared a success and he is recovering nicely (though it will be a long process). Here’s hopin’ he’ll be back at the drawing board soon. We love ya, Dan!
We join Eric and everyone in sending him our very best wishes.
Good luck in your recovery, Mr. Clowes!
wow, I thought he was pretty young. Best of luck to Dan.
