I’m wrapping up the shipping of the various perks that were offered by some very generous individuals and companies. I’d like to take a moment and recognize them for their generosity. I approached a few individuals personally but the majority came to me offering their help. In alphabetical order, I give huge thanks to… Abrams […]
I went to bed last night $30 shy of $8,000 (I’m also counting a $150 analog donation that came in the mail) in this year’s Fund The Daily Cartoonist drive. Somewhere in the last 30 minutes another donation came in that pushed the total above $8,000. Considering that this one campaign total surpasses all of […]
Today is the last day to contribute to Fund The Daily Cartoonist campaign. My goals for 2014 is to make a dramatic improvement in the delivery and volume of news of interest. You can read how I’m specifically going to do that on the campaign website. It’s going to take a significant sustained investment of […]
We are in the last three days of the campaign to support The Daily Cartoonist. If you’re reading this, it’s because you read the blog. It might be “free” to you, but it’s not free to produce. There’s the hosting costs, my time and energies – both in posting news and links and behind the […]
Thanks to the generosity of Susie MacNelly, a lucky donor to the Fund The Daily Cartoonist campaign will receive an original Jeff MacNelly Shoe comic strip. The publication date is March 3, 1989 and the topic of the strip is timeless. If you’re a fan of Jeff’s (who isn’t?), this would be a great addition […]

I’m excited to announce that Mark Parisi is donating two of his […]
Last Monday, I posted an original Jeff MacNelly Shoe as a perk to a lucky (and quick!) donor to the Fund The Daily Cartoonist campaign. It was claimed in less than an hour. Susie MacNelly, who has always been a generous supporter of the blog, has offered to provide an original so we can do […]
Over the weekend, I was offered the opportunity to add an original Jeff MacNelly Shoe comic strip as an incentive. I thought I had put the donation value high, but apparently not too high – it was claimed within an hour. I’m jealous of the person who claimed it, but immensely happy – it’s going […]
Click to see larger view Of the cartoonists of the 20th century, Jeff MacNelly was a very influential one. He won three Pulitzer Prizes for editorial cartooning – his first in 1972 when he was only 24. He was also twice awarded the National Cartoonists Society’s top price The Reuben Award for Outstanding Cartoonist of […]
Last week I announced major changes for The Daily Cartoonist in the coming year. With that announcement was a mention that I’d be using Indiegogo to run my mostly-annual fund-drive. I launched that campaign today. You can head over there now to see the awesome incentives that have been provided by friends of the blog. […]
