THE TOM THE DANCING BUG HURRICANE RELIEF CHALLENGE

Hey, everybody.  I'm sure many of you have either given to a charity to help the victims of the Hurricane Sandy, or are intending to (or are intending to give again).  I thought I'd do my small part to encourage donations.

 

If you make your donation to American National Red Cross through a donation page I set up, http://www.firstgiving.com/fundraiser/ruben-bolling/sandy, you could win the original artwork for this week's upcoming comic.  INNER HIVE members have already seen it, and it will be posted publicly first on BoingBoing.net tomorrow.  I'll post artwork here at that time.

 

11/7 UPDATE:  Here is a link to the comic on Boing Boing, and below is the artwork:

The deadline is one week from today, NOVEMBER 13 at 3pm, NYC time.  If the same person makes more than one donation, the multiple donations will be aggregated.  In case there's some problem with my contacting you directly, I may announce the winner on the blog by initials (I won't identify you publicly until you've been contacted and given consent), so check back in a week.

 

Anyone who makes a donation of any size automatically wins the gratitude and admiration of the entire Tom the Dancing Bug Concern, and that does not ordinarily come that cheap!

 

Thank you, everybody.  Hoping you are fortunate enough to be in a position to help.
