Matthew Diffee's Life of the Party

An unpublished 2013 cartoon by Matthew Diffee carries a timely warning for Chanukah. The drawing was sold early this year in a charity auction for Usagi Yojimbo creator Stan Sakai and his wife Sharon. A total of fifty bids were placed on eBay. Unfortunately Sharon Sakai passed away just last month succumbing to a brain tumor.

Matthew Diffee, "Wade Greenberg, wearing his hemp blazer, inadvertently

becomes the life of the party when he stands too close to the menorah."
