I know I’m a little late on my news reporting, but blame it on the rain (or lack thereof).

Anyway, my friend Bearman, besides being an all-around great guy, he’s also a philanthropist (a bit different than a philanderer, I’m told). He’s sponsoring the Bearman Charity Challenge.

Now, before you get all into a huff, check this out: this charity drive costs you nothing, True Believer. Bearman’s the one footing the bill.

For every time you post a blog, tweet on Twitter, link to his Drive, or anything related, he’ll donate money. Now what could be better than spending someone else’s moola? I don’t know, either.

So, go check out the Bearman Charity Drive and see what you can do to help others in crisis situations and send Mr. Bearman to the poorhouse (I live on the second floor and I could use the company).

Tell ‘im Big George from ADDANAC CITY sent ya!

My webcomic buddy and all-around nice guy, Bearman, is holding his 2nd Annual Charity Challenge 2010 drive. By mentioning his charity drive in various ways and through different social networks, you compel him to donate money to some worthy causes.

I’m proud to announce that I am part of a project that involves many talented webcomic creators. It’s a cookbook called “Webcomics: What’s Cooking?” and it boasts recipes featuring a lot of major webcomic characters. I was fortunate to get myself and Hank invited to participate. The project is the brainchild of TGT Media’s Kurt Sasso and “1977: The Comic‘s” creator, Byron Wilkins. Here’s a rundown of what the project is all about. The info comes directly from its most recent press release:

“What started out as a simple idea of doing a cookbook based around webcomic characters has blossomed into a full fledged campaign to help raise money for the hungry in North America. “Webcomics: What’s Cooking?” is that cookbook that will feature dozens and dozens of recipes from popular webcomic creators showcasing a variety of recipes from Breakfast to Dinner and a few things in between!

The cookbook will feature a full page, custom created comic from each participating artist along side a favorite dish or beverage.

From Alien Cupcakes to Alamo Queso to Chicago style Deep Dish Pizza to Oreo Truffles, you are sure to find a dish that will satisfy your hunger.

The concept behind the cookbook is “Feed Your Family, Feed the World”. You purchase the cookbook and receive all these wonderful recipes to create for your family or friends and the proceeds from the project go to Canadian and American National Food Banks to help feed those in need. You couldn’t ask for a better combination. Satisfy your hunger and those in need as well.

The book will be available in time to celebrate the Holiday season. With the help of sponsors and your pre-orders, the proceeds of this not-for-profit cookbook will bring thousands of needy individuals and families a good meal and more, hope.

Pre-Order your 90+ page, full color cookbook for $20 – and have it in time for the holiday season!

The webcomic community have really gotten behind this cookbook to help these National Food Banks; Not only with their amazing recipes, but also their creative talent in showing that can have fun as artists and bringing their individually unique creative styles.”

Not a bad deal, huh?

I’m honored to be among the mighty who contributed to this worthy cause and effort. Here’s a small clip of a panel from the page I designed featuring Hank and his parents in the kitchen.

So please, help do your part, and order this book. Give a helping hand to those who may not be able to help themselves this year.

A few months ago, a number of talented webcomic cartoonists and I were invited to contribute artwork and/or recipes to the “Webcomics: What’s Cooking?” cookbook project which was intended to help feed needy families all across the world. It was an offer I could not refuse. I created a page which depicted Hank Addanac and his family trying out one of his abundant new recipes.

A lot of notable webcomic creators came on board for this project. Cartoonists such as Bearman, Aidan Casserly, Dr. Carlo Jose San Juan, and David Reddick were just a handful of famous names who jumped up to do what they could to make this charitable event a success.

The cookbook has been printed and it is available for sale. If you would like to do your part, please purchase the Webcomics: What’s Cooking? cookbook and get started in the kitchen today! You will be helping others and filling your own belly at the same time. Above is an interior sample of the book featuring my ADDANAC CITY contribution (photo was taken by Dr. Caz of Callous Comics).

Here’s some more info that was taken from the TGT Media website:

“What started out as a simple idea of doing a cookbook based around webcomic characters has blossomed into a full fledged campaign to help raise money to benefit food banks across North America. “Webcomics: What’s Cooking?” is a cookbook that features fifty-plus recipes from popular webcomic creators showcasing a variety of artistic and culinary delights!

The cookbook will feature a full page, custom created comic from each participating artist along side a favorite dish or beverage. From Alien Cupcakes to Alamo Queso to Chicago style Deep Dish Pizza to Oreo Truffles, you are sure to find a recipe from every part of the world to satisfy your hunger. The webcomic community have rallied behind this cookbook to help with this cause. Not only with their amazing recipes, but also with their creative talents.”
