Not Comics: SoCal Fires and Comics Folk

As most of you are no doubt aware, a series of wildfires in southern California has had a troubling effect on thousands of people in that part of the country, burning homes and forcing evacuations. Here's a CNN.com index from 8 AM PT this morning. Not only does this directly effect a ton of folks, a lot of people not in Southern California can usually find a tangential relationship to such a story. For instance, one of my fraternity brothers from 20 years ago and his family were in a forced evacuation area, and a bunch of people from that portion of my life are shooting e-mails around this morning keeping apprised of their status, albeit in between missives making fun of the guys living in recently-proclaimed ugliest city Philadelphia. You know how it is.

Anyhow, three comics-related folk that I can think of that have broached the subject in their blogs you might want to track if you're interested in comics as some sort of odd entry point into the affair are Larry Marder, Scott Dunbier and Chris Allen.
