Comics Cure: CBLDF "Guardians of Free Speech" Membership -- We Got Ours!

CALL TO ACTION

Being a geek is EXPENSIVE! But fanboys and fangirls spend so much of their time and money on kitsch and fluff, stuff and nonsense, and pricey toys that adding a few extra bucks to the weekly pull-list budget or rounding off the cost of that life-size stuffed Jawa to the nearest dollar wouldn't make a single one of them blink. What if that extra dollar a week went toward the fight to cure autism? What if it went toward the expansion of the pediatric center of a cancer hospital? What if the extra dollar thrown into the pot by a thousand geeks every week for a month went to help just one sick child with limited health insurance get the treatment she needs?

So let's do it!
Don't give that money to us. Give it to them. Or find some other way to channel your creativity to help them. Just do something. There will be plenty of time for your own escapism after you spend a few moments (and hopefully a few pennies) improving someone else's reality. When you're done reading about do-gooders for $3.99 a pop, go out a do some good of your own.

FOUNDER

Matt Bergin, the co-creator of Division 18: The Union of Novelty Costumed Performers and moderator of the Comic Blog Elite, started this blog as a distraction after a diagnosis of thyroid cancer. Now, one thyroid lighter and able to debunk any myths about radiation giving you special powers, Matt is taking a cue from his super heroes and trying to do some good. There's no cure for comics, but through our efforts, comics can cure!
