Week one is complete and we started out thing with a bang.
First though, let me thank the folks at the Webcomic Alliance for letting me hijack their site today and blog about the challenge. If you are a cartoonist or interested in cartooning as a business, they offer a wealth of information, so check them out. In addition, since several of their members are behind the Webcomics: What’s Cooking Book which is also raising money for hunger, I promised to pay an additional $5 for every book they sold this month. I’ll update at the end of the month on that tally.
Here is the week one breakdown:
$2 each for 11 new followers me on Facebook
$2 each for valerie_smith, drawntobewild, CincyCasino, DigitalAdhesive, ChewyHuman, Beefstu409, Wombie, CincyLiveMusic, manchesternova, InfctiusCharity, Foreman_8157 for following me on Twitter.
$10 each for including me in their cartoon:
$5 each for those adding a link or banner to Beartoons on their site:

Please let me know if I missed anyone!!!

Let me know if I missed anyone. If you want to find out how to get involved just click the image above to go to the post that explains it all.
At this rate you are going to come up short of the 1000. I have the rest of today and all day tomorrow to be creative. Like I said… Go ahead and pay up and I’ll leave you alone. Comin’ up.. New more in depth blog and your link and gravatar will be everywhere. Thinkin’ about a video too.
Well I always come up short of the $1000…that is just my breaking point..haha
Would taking your link down and then re-posting it count?
🙂
Yes if you took down my link and replaced it with a giant banner.
I put your link up on my Break of Day Facebook page. Don’t know if it counts, but I’m sure it gets more exposure than my blog (since that only gets 1 or 2 readers a week)!
1 (me), 2 (george)???
I will def. count facebook drives. I’ll add it to next week. Thanks
I keep getting spam pingback/trackbacks so you ended up in the trash. Then I saw Bearman and pulled you back out.
Congrats on the results thus far! 🙂
At least someone is pulling me out of the trash instead of trying to put me in.
That all….come on people. Don’t make me have to post about it AGAIN!!!!!
Maybe you don’t have the clout you think you do. O maybe we already run in all the same circles.
O.K. Bearman, I can see you’re going to make me work over this
I’ve added one of your banner ads to Madhatters
(I’ve started small – next week I’ll upgrade to a larger size banner to squeeze some more money out of you) 😆
Haha. Perfect. Be careful or that carefully designed gruff exterior may start to chip away and show your puppy dog interior
I’ve just included you in my Sunday Bible Comic, another 10 bucks for charity Kachink!!!
Beauteous. Thanks Tony
Okay, Bearman, I’ve included a notice of your charity drive on Monday’s Wombania cartoon.
Thanks Peter.
Excellent post with a new collection of good news here.
This is really a excellent post with have a wondering info.I am glad to watch it.
bear.
i might give away free shit, but at least i don’t use charity for self promotion.
BAM ROASTED!
but on a serious note – good job 😉
Don’t hate. I’d use a 10 year old in a wheelchair to boost my visits. Now where did I leave that kid.
