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.

To get the lowdown on how you can shake some dollars loose from his iron-clad grip, click here to read his rules and regulations. Let’s all do our part to help out by spending Bearman‘s moola!

Man-oh-man, the comic strips have been pouring in these past few weeks! I have received some hilarious contributions created by some of my long-time webcomic friends and also from some new creators on the block. It looks like this year’s Guest Strip Weeks are gonna be pretty amusing and eventful.

I just wanted to post this reminder to let all of you budding artists (and established ones too) out there know that I am still accepting guest-comics. I’m gonna start posting them as soon as I wrap up this current time-traveling storyline. It looks like that will be somewhere around the early part of June, so you still have time to create your ADDANAC CITY masterpiece.

You can find out some of the rules and stipulations below. I look forward to seeing what you come up with, so don’t be shy. And be sure to spread the word to your other artistic friends!

The Many Faces of Hank Addanac by last year's guests

1) The Guest-Strip must feature at least one Addanac City character. You can try your hand at more than that (feel free), but in order to be an AC guest comic, it must have an AC citizen somewhere in the strip.

2) Feel free to use your flagship character in the comic too. I love a good crossover, and it may make you feel more comfortable while creating an Addanac City comic.

3) The guest-comic you send to me must be no larger than 850 pixels wide if it’s in strip format, and no larger than 500 pixels wide if it’s in page format. And try to make sure the panels fit within screen-view so readers won’t have to do too much scrolling, please.

4) The guest-comic must be sent as a jpeg.

5) The strip must be somewhat funny. Also, keep in mind, that I stretch the envelope of taste around here, but I try not to destroy the package. I normally keep it somewhere around PG in these parts.

6) I’m gonna start running the strips I receive somewhere around the beginning of June, so you have time (although not too much). Most likely, I’ll run them in the order I get them, so you early birds can get started now.

Email your finished strip to me at addanaccity@gmail.com

If you have any questions whatsoever, feel free to contact me via email or in a comment, and I’ll be happy to reply to your query. Thanks again to all who will participate this year!

I just wanted to share a few pieces of art from the past that I was commissioned to do for some connoisseurs of cartoon art. I had fun with these characters, but I don’t expect to see these versions on TV anytime soon.
