Please Think About Maybe Helping Out The Cartoonist Darryl Cunningham

image

I don't know the cartoonist Darryl Cunningham, and I'm only barely aware of his work. I also don't know anyone close enough to Cunningham to personally vouch for the desperateness of his situation the way that local media played this role with the Tom Artis family. But when someone's down enough on his luck to ask for assistance, I'm inclined to give them a soapbox, and send along a little help myself. I'm afraid it will be a much more common thing over than the next 10-20 years.

Darryl Cunningham is asking for help. Go here to read more and follow the links to a proper pay pal account. Go here to read Cunningham's post on the matter, here to see various images up on his flickr account and here to see his illustration blog. The cartoonist has promised art when he gets back up on his feet, but that's not something I'd feel comfortable taking -- on principle, but also because of how much I'm able to give would probably be swallowed whole by the postage.

Additionally, I just sort of found his art to be appealing. Maybe some of the editors out there could use one of those cityscapes as a one-pager in their anthology or something like that, or might be otherwise interested in contacting Mr. Cunningham. Maybe someone out there could arrange to purchase an original. Whatever you can do, whatever you choose to do, thanks, even if it's just for reading this post.
