Tom Fischbach is a good artist and webcomic maker, take a look at:
http://2kinds.com/
you can see his fantasy-manga developing through years (and you can also see how an artist little by little raises his drawing skill to reach his storytelling talent).

In the past weeks Tom was not updating his story so often as usual and he explained to his fans that was mostly because of his father's illness. Some days ago Tom's father died.

I don't know if he will work on on his webcomic or what he will do, all I know is that you should take a chance to discover his work as a comic artist.

I think that's the closest thing to a big friendly hug you can give him.
