Heartbreaking to hear the news this afternoon of Boston cartoonist and designer and my friend Dan Moynihan suddenly dying on Dec. 21–leaving behind his wife Cathy Moynihan and their 14-month-old son. Dan was such a sweet and kind person, whose art was filled with wonder and joy. “I would say that’s a big theme for me,” he told me when I interviewed him back in 2009, “believing that there’s more possibilities than seem obvious or that you would usually think of.” Dan’s sister Julie Hughes has set up this fundraiser for Dan’s family: https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-ben-and-cathy-after-dans-passing.
