The telethon is a-roarin’ with excitement. Updates every 20 Minutes if you can believe it. Strips pouring in from all over, from all artists. Both a-listers and relative unknowns. They’re all on equal playing field here because the name of the game is charity. And when it comes to charity, it doesn’t matter who’s participating. It’s about the end result. It’s about how money is getting into the hands of the Red Cross, and that aid is getting into the lives of the victims.
The level of insurmountable positivity emanating from the webcomics world right now is downright euphoric.
I’m digging the sheer variety of content with it all. We’ve got everything from the adorable to the intense, the insightful to the random, the hard science to the political, the heart warming to the gut busting… and then some. It’s just fantastic.
Last night I found myself jumping into the Podcast world for the first time, with those groovy cats Zampzon and Daku over at Digital Strips, along with Ryan Estrada. The Podcast is up now, for your listening pleasure. Brad Guigar joined us to tell us about running the staggering operation that is a charity, and all the stuff that goes along with that. Meanwhile, I act like a complete jackass. It was fun.
Blank Label is swiftly becoming the Justice League of Webcomics. It’s amazing. Their lineup seems to be just the right combination of people to get stuff done, and that is most admirable. Kudos to Paul Southworth for the badass logos and Kris Straub for his top notch code work.
But let’s not forget the other telethon! They’re giving it their all, and if you’re the type who isn’t offended by adult material, you should definitely check them out. Also, I’m still selling essays. E-mail me to work it out.
There’s 10 hours of Telethon left. And as of this writing they’ve raised $21,880. How about that, eh? Sit back, enjoy the show, and if you haven’t donated yet, then what are you waiting for?
The Other Telethon has banners, too…
Although things have changed since we made that banner. We’re going on, slow but unsure, until the 21st.
There you go, Kris.
There’s 10 hours of Telethon left.
More than that, actually, given that it’s been announced the telethon has been extended to the 15th.
That is 100% awesome.
