Steve Rude arrested!

Steve Rude arrested and selling artwork to pay legal bills!

from the article wrote:Steve Rude, co-creator of Nexus, was arrested last night in a dispute with his neighbors. The charges are assault and failure to comply with a court order.

He’s out on bail now, but will still have to raise legal fees. Mark Evanier notes:

This means you have one of those great opportunities to simultaneously help out a deserving guy and get yourself a great bargain. Go to his website and buy something. In fact, while you’re there, buy several somethings.

via news from me.

The Beat notes that the Rudes live in Maricopa County is the homebase of Joe Arpaio, “America’s Toughest Sheriff”, who’s known for housing inmates outside in 145 degree heat, feeding them spoiled food, and other practices that have gained notoriety and lawsuits from organizations such as the ACLU and Amnesty International, and rulings from federal courts over various violations of the US Constitution– you know, cruel and unusual punishment, violating civil rights, racial profiling, election law violations, and abuse of power.

And just to tie it back into comics, Arpaio created an armed illegal immigration operations posse in 2010, to help his deputies enforce immigration law. One member of the posse? Lou Ferrigno.

He has been selling art work for a while because he has had financial problems related to his house.

I saw him in front of the convention center in San Diego last year and he was yelling into his phone at a guy about his house.

I have been watching his auctions for the last year or so. He has been selling new paintings and prints but his original art seems a little picked over - he was putting a lot of Encyclopedia Salesman OA up for sale.

I just found the article and thought some people might be interested.

I had read somewhere/sometime, awhile ago that Rude was kinda, uh I don't know...RUDE...to people??? Ya know on the tool side of things...so this article doesn't really surprise me I guess... :?


I would find it kind of hard to contribute to help a guy out when he wasn't known as being a nice person to begin with...

jus' sayin...
Why waste time learning, when ignorance is instantaneous?

I would agree with you, but then we'd both be wrong.
