Let me first say that I spent a few years working on the Hill for Senator Kerry across the hall from Senator Kennedy’s office.  I’ve met him on numerous occasions, and no matter what you may think of him politically, he was a very kind, friendly, warm person.  A great memory of mine is he and I playing fetch with his dogs.

The Liberal Lion will be missed and his voice and passion will never be replaced.

From BlueWater Productions:

The country is a lesser place with the passing of Senator Kennedy. Regardless of where you stand on the political spectrum we could all learn a great deal if we followed his passion for public service.

The timing of our announcement of a biography comic based on the life of Ted Kennedy was in no way tied to the Senator’s declining health and ultimate passing. When Bluewater planned out the first year of biographies, Kennedy’s name was always at the top of the list. In fact, this issue has been in production since March and was solicited to retail shops through our national distributor in June. We will, of course, pay final respects to this American icon by adding a page to the completed issue to close the last chapter of his remarkable life.

We mourn his passing with the rest of the nation.
