Wallace

[Michael Bailey]

this is sad, perplexing news indeed.....

maybe he was done in by the League of Wheelchair Assassins

say what you will, and many have, I thought IJ was a helluva read

gosh darnit anyway
RIP Mr Wallace and thanks for some tasty reading.
Whatever was plaguing you, you needn't feel bad about the writing you
left behind.
