Cartoonists for Japan
Several different cartoon related projects have sprung up to support the relief efforts in Japan.

Comics for Japan is asking cartoonists to create cartoons showing their characters donating to the relief efforts and asking them to publicize ways for their readers to donate. You can check out their site to see who is already involved.

Japan Needs Heroes is looking to create a book showcasing different cartoonists work to help raise funds for relief efforts.

IMPORTANT:

I posted the American Red Cross link the other day. I did hear of someone in the U.S. trying to donate to the Japanese Red Cross, only to get hit with Exchange Rate fees from his credit card company. I don’t know if that is the case everywhere but it might be easiest to donate where they use your own currency. Peter from Wombania, helped get me started on some of them.
Miss anyone??

Red Cross Banner

Given the massive destruction of property and lives that happened in Japan, people always wonder how they can help. Internationally, the Red Cross does an amazing job in my opinion and I quickly donated and wanted to put a banner linking to their donation page on my site.

I wasn’t happy with the sizes or styles of banners they had available so I created this one. It links directly to their donation page where you can designate your donation to the efforts in Japan.

If you would like to use it as well, all you need to do is grab the following html.

Bearman Cartoon: Obama bows to Emperor
It seems the masses are all in an uproar about President Barack Obama bowing a greeting to Japanese Emperor Akihito. So I have gathered the top 5 reasons Obama did this so you people can get over it. The last reason is todays editorial cartoon.
1. He is so tall and Akihito so short, that he HAD to bend down to reach Akihito’s hand.
2. He got confused by the famous international etiquette book Kiss, Bow or Shake Hands that he tried to do all three at once.
3. He made the Emperor feel superior on purpose. How many of you wouldn’t grovel to someone you want to lend money to you or invest in your business(es)?
4. Friday’s basketball game with the White House motor pool caused his back to go out.
AND NUMBER 5….
