Quagmire was always a bit of an oddball and I suppose the scarce information about his passing or details of his personal life are appropriate from a man whose stories mocked the ideas of plot or continuity.
Cutey Bunny was a delight; for a time it was one of the most visible independent humour comics of the 1980s, to the point that the character helped launch Fantagraphics' book Critters alongside Stan Sakai's Usagi Yojimbo. While Usagi went on to greatness and continues to this day, Quagmire's work unfortunately became more obscure.
I previously posted a retrospective on Cutey Bunny on this blog. Perhaps some day all of Quagmire's Cutey Bunny tales can be bundled together into a nice trade to help preserve this odd, funny and fascinating series.
Rest in peace, Mr. Quagmire (If that was your real name).
