It is the end of a period. I remember, so long ago, randomly finding his webcomic: DM of the ring
https://www.shamusyoung.com/twentysidedtale/?p=612
(It made me discover what webcomics are. And I started consummed them like a madman, at the time).
I followed the blog ever since.
Shamus was what Internet could have been, if we didnt have 3 websites (youtube, facebook, twitch) gathering all contents creators.
An original voice who always stayed true to himself.
I never met him, or even chat with him on his forum, and still feel like losing a friend.
