greg-pak: Usagi Yojimbo, for the benefit auction for Stan and Sharon Sakai. Legendary “Usagi Yojimbo” creator Stan Sakai could use our help. His wife Sharon sufffers from a debilitating illness that now requires 24 hour home care. The Cartoon Art Professional Society is organizing an auction of original art to help with the Sakai’s expenses. I’m donating the above sketch. If you’re an artist, I hope you’ll consider making your own donation. If you’re a fan, I hope you’ll consider bidding, or making a cash donation. Click here for more information. Stan Sakai is one of my comics heroes. I fell in love with his “Usagi Yojimo” books in high school and had the incredible pleasure of meeting him in person during my second year as a comics professional at I-CON 25 in Stoney Brook in 2006. I wish him and his wife all the very best.
