What a beautiful tribute — the “Winter Holidays” collage of Max is a heartfelt blend of festivity and remembrance. I’m struck by how the showing how joyous memories can carry deep emotional weight. Thank you for sharing such a personal, layered piece of your story through the art of collage.

🌟 What a beautiful tribute to Capt’n Max and his French adventures! The collage captures such joie de vivre—yachts, cafés, art, the Riviera… the love, the spirit, the playful rebellion of France. Merci for sharing these tender memories. Vive la vie, vive Max! 💙🇫🇷

I'm glad Counterpunch has posted Dr. Suzy's expression of the loss of the "Love of her life -- Max". What a life these two people have had. Inspiring reading!

What a moving tribute, Dr. Suzy. Your “Family/History” collage is more than an art piece — it’s a heartfelt narrative woven from memory, joy, loss, and love. You’ve captured not just the life of Max but also the emotional landscape that accompanied your journey together.

Dr. Susan Block @drsuzy.bsky.social · 28d

Collages are collisions of images & emotions🎨 My “Max Family History” collage includes images of my beloved Max's early life in Italy b4 migrating to LA where he found me💞 The emotions are pain (grief) mixed with the pleasure of expressing our love💖 #RIPMax Coming: drsusanblock.com/max-to-the-m... 👈

Honored to read that Dr. Jane Goodall loved The Bonobo Way (shared by Dr. Suzy) — a beautiful meeting of minds committed to great ape conservation. 🐒💚 Her legacy reminds us that curiosity, compassion, and persistence can change how we relate to the natural world. #JaneGoodall #GoBonobos

Thank you for laying your heart bare and turning your healing into an invitation—to mourn, to remember, and to keep creating beauty and resistance in a world so often bent toward darkness. I see you, I grieve with you, and I stand beside you in hope and perseverance.

This sounds like its going to be a wonderful celebration of a very exciting life. Max had a long history in the underground media scene in LA. I’m sure there will be a plethora of stories recounted at the Memorial of those who were around Max from back in the day.

I like that, Lust with Trust… now just dust. Seeing Dr. Suzy sharing Max’s memory with their friends is the perfect way to appreciate him. And a warm way to transition to a life without him. I like the Bonoboville community coming over to support her at this stage. Farewell Max!

What an extraordinary life Max led with you! You both created a colorful Speakeasy scene and media universe in Downtown LA’s underground for decades. Hoping the good memories will now light up your life, Dr. Suzy. R.I.P. Max!
