One of your own, Scott Shaw!, has a recruiting message for you…
Once again, I'm looking for professional cartoonists to volunteer for an extremely worthwhile charity event, the 17th Annual Pediatric Picnic for the City Of Hope on Saturday, June 7, from 10 pm to 4 pm in Duarte, California. We will be drawing cartoons for the young cancer patients of the City of Hope Hospital and their families. So far, I'm a bit underwhelmed by the lack of volunteers I've received, so I'm really hoping you can step up again. We'll need at least thirty volunteers to handle the somewhat grueling demand of drawing requests for children who ask for sketches of everything from Hello Kitty to Wolverine, in every style from classic Disney to dynamic superheroes to manga and animé. Therefore, we need experienced professional cartoonists who are kid-friendly, patient and creatively flexible. Drawing supplies and food will be provided. You'll be working hard for six hours (with bathroom breaks, of course) but I guarantee that you'll have a great time drawing for an appreciative audience of sick kids who can really use a little fun to brighten up their lives. This event is for these young patients and their families only so it's required that you leave your families at home. If you're interested in joining us, please send me an email. Thanks!
