For those who didn’t see, the e-mail @StelBel posted Monday, here, here, and perhaps elsewhere, @DAZZ has passed away.She was a frequent contributor to this strip, especially in its early months, and, among other things, an amateur artist. In December, 2011, she left a comment about her 6′ × 4′ (tribute to) Picasso painting, and @Number Six replied:
Less tell and more show.Please?to which she replied that she didn’t know how to post images at GoComics; but, had some at FB and Webshots. If you look at the @DAZZ link (not sure how long GoComics keeps it around), she learned how.Anyway, around 6 weeks later, she decided to use the Picasso as her avatar for awhile, and that gave me an image to look for. So, I posted its full size image here, that I had found at Webshots; but, unfortunately, awhile back, Webshots decided to delete all such images, and all my links there no longer work.I was going to post it here again; but, I don’t do FB. So, if anyone does, or knows where to find that image, please post it.In lieu of that, here is an image I found of her, doing a couple other things she had a passion for (at least according to her comments; click for its webpage):It was one of her comments that told me I had been quarantined (only I could read my comments) by GoComics, back in February, 2012. Without that, I might have never known (which may have been a blessing to some of you).So, from that time on, her comments meant a bit more to me than comments by others (anyone who’s been quarantined will understand why). I’m going to miss that.R.I.P., DAZZ
Once again, so far, this isn’t in the list of works, by this artist, in Mr. Melcher’s blog. A click-to-enlarge image can be found here.Self-portrait at the Easel is, as best I can tell, privately owned. It was part of a 2009 Brooklyn Museum exhibition.A discussion of the painting can be found in a few pages of an online book preview, starting here. It is at the 0:38 mark of this video showing many of the artist’s works (fullscreen is active)
A different coloration, enlarged image can be found here The artist’s Wikipedia page (Bing translated French Wikipedia page has more) and collection (more under Subcategories at each level).Fifth work, by this artist, to appear here.
mabrndt: Thanks for the update on DAZZ. She will be missed. In a related matter, would it be too difficult for gocomics to inform those being censored at least of the fact, if not the grounds – privately, if not online? Looks too much like the current fad of killing without due process, even if a far milder form.

After looking at his self-portrait, Gustave figured out who had broken into his home.

Thank you for sharing about Dazz, mabrndt. Loved seeing the picture. She will certainly be missed.
