Larry Hubbell Obituary

UPDATE: THERE WILL BE A "GOODBYE TO HARRY LYRICO" EVENT AT PIRATE GALLERY IN LAKEWOOD, COLORADO ON 2/2/19 FROM 7-9 PM. STOP BY AND RAISE A TOAST. OR DO THE SAME FROM WHEREVER YOU ARE.

Westword's Susan Froyd listed the event in the paper's calendar section as one of the "Best Things to Do in Denver" that week:

Although he was sometimes homeless, Hubbell left behind many friends and supporters from the art and comics communities, where he gained some local fame as a member of a group of collaborators who worked on a trove of ’90s-era "Hector" comic strips.
