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??

    This is some good info. I may work on something for ‘Comics For Japan’.

    Yes, if you’re donating to the Red Cross, you’re probably best off donating to the branch in your own country. You can still donate funds directly to the Japanese relief effort.

    Interesting – I would have never thought of cartoons in the relief effort. Good to know.
    When I saw the title in my blogroll I thought you might have found this Japanese cartoon video explaining the nuclear problem going on.
    I know it’s a very serious situation but this clip is kinda strange and apparently was done by a Japanese artist. Here’s the link.
