Joe Murphy, one of the Kick-Ass Mystic Ninjas and frequent contributor to Michael and Evo’s Wingin’ It podcast, passed away this afternoon after a difficult battle with Leiomyosarcoma.

Cheyenne Wright, creator of the Arcane Times webcomic, drew this excellent tribute that has been making its way around several of my favorite blogs this evening.

Several of Joe’s friends have created a fund to help Joe’s family and to fund research on LMS. If you can, please visit The Joe Murphy Memorial Fund and leave a donation to honor a funny, kind man who was taken from us much too soon.
