I enjoyed watching the segment - I think it's really great that cartoonists can band together for a common cause to help their fellow 'toonist out. This event reminded me of last year's Hurricane Katrina fund raiser by Blank Label. The webcomic community pulled together for Hurricane Katrina and raised tons of money for the American Red Cross. Just imagine what it could be like if webcartoonists could pull together for other important causes like this several times a year?
