DivaLea: Webcomickers for Katrina Relief

Been getting pissed off at how grim things are in New Orleans, M'sippi, this week? Did those five kids whose mom has disappeared break your heart? Want to help with Katrina relief? Brad Guigar does, too, and he's organized a "telethon" of webcomics, hosted by hot new webcomickers on the block, Blank Label Comics.

Here's your marching orders from the Webcomic Hurricaine Relief Telethon site:

(1) Contact Brad Guigar at bguigar@yahoo.com and tell him you will be participating. This will help us plan the event.

(2) Do a comic. Now. It doesn't have to be about hurricanes or disasters or the importance of charity... but those themes are appreciated. The final should be no wider than 600 pixels. Any depth is fine. Do not include a large title, in the image... that will be included in a text line under your comic, linked back to your site.

(3) Send your comic to bguigar@yahoo.com. GIF, PNG and JPEG are all acceptable formats. In your e-mail, include your name(s), the title of your strip, and your URL.

(4) Spread the word. Watch www.webcomictelethon.com for banners and buttons to use to start alerting your readers. Blog about it. Post it on your sites. Get the word out.

And if you're not a webcomicker, you can read and donate.

I'm in. Who's with me?
