Sad reports coming in that Ricky Garduno, a young storyboard artist for numerous TV shows, has passed away. The cause of death is still unconfirmed. Some people online are speculating it was suicide, but it also may have been an accidental death. His credits included El Tigre, The Buzz on Maggie, The Drinky Crow Show and Coconut Fred’s Fruit Salad Island! He also created the online comic 1930 Nitemare Theatre, which ran on Dumm Comics for a number of years. He participated in this roundtable discussion about Dumm Comics that we published in 2008.
UPDATE: Read a beautiful tribute written by Gabe Swarr and another lovely tribute written by Niko Anesti.
