About this project

There are a lot of ways to help on the Katrina disaster. And we hope that you take the time to "pace yourself" and not get burned out on the news and politics that are to come. This is an effort from various chapters of The National Cartoonists Society.

 The hope is to help you laugh a little and care a lot.     

It's not complicated. It's just "post some strips and ask people to continue to give to their favorite charity". The site will mature in design and content, but we'll never take anyone's money directly...only direct them to reputable charities.   

"I spent five years working as a journalist in New Orleans. I can testify that it's a great city empty of its great people. New Orleans and the Gulf Coast needs us. I hope you can participate. Pass this along to anyone you feel could help, too. Cartoonists Without Borders organized in response to Hurricane Katrina. It’s obviously a big  mess out there. And we’ve decided to do our meager part by raising awareness through cartoons," says Micheal Jantze.

We, the collected punsters, bards, illustrators, humorists, poets, story tellers, and the occasional mime, have donated our content for your reading pleasure. We hope that you will in turn donate to the very needy, deserving victims of the hurricane.

In the future, we hope to use this forum to inspire your charity for other nasty events.

Enjoy the site. Happy Giving. And thanks.
