To raise money for Alice's Kids, I'm offering to re-draw one of two comics for $1,100 ($1,000 to Alice's Kids, $100 for my expenses including shipping).
You can choose one of these two comics, and I'll re-draw* it on 11x14 bristol board, pencil/pen/ink (so black and white line art, not color), and sign it however you like:
Lucky Ducky, in "Red Flags"
or It's the Great Storm, Charlie Brown
Alice's Kids' mission is to "enhance the self-esteem of children in need by providing them targeted financial assistance that will facilitate their participation in scholastic, recreational and social activities."
"Over the years we have built a network of hundreds of teachers, social workers, police department personnel, homeless shelter staff and others who, upon identifying a child with a specific need, send us a request form for assistance. The child might need a winter coat or glasses, They might hide in the back of the classroom as others are exchanging senior yearbooks that they could not afford or cannot attend school because they cannot afford the school uniform. The teacher asks for help and we process the request within 24 hours. In the case of a gift card (e.g., the child needs track shoes), we might send the teacher a Dick's Sporting Goods gift card. The teacher prints it out and presents it to the parent who then can proudly announce to their child that they are going shopping for those shoes! All of our assistance is provided anonymously to help preserve the dignity of the child."

Thanks, Rb

*Because I'm re-drawing the comic, it may not look exactly the same as the published comic; I'll be doing my best to re-draw to it as faithfully as possible, but there will certainly be small differences.
