Comics Curmudgeon Fall 2009 Fundraiser


Click the banner above or button below to contribute any amount — and receive your “What Would Margo Do” bracelet with our thanks!

To contribute by PayPal or Credit Card: Click the banner or button, then follow the instructions at the secure PayPal site. You don’t need a PayPal account — any major credit card will do.


To send a check by mail: Click the “Donate by mail” button below to email uncle.lumpy@comcast.net — I’ll send an address for your check, cash, or money order.



And whether you contribute through PayPal or the mail, be sure we have the correct address for your Margo bracelet!

What’s in it for you? Lots! A sincere thank you on behalf of Josh and the Comics Curmudgeon, the quiet admiration of thousands of fellow readers, and the knowledge that you are officially a Good and Generous Person, like that Schindler guy or Gandhi or something.

And of course, every contributor of any amount will receive this fashionable silicone bracelet, recessed and filled with the inscription “What Would Margo Do?”, and lightly embossed with “www.joshreads.com” on the inside.

Did I mention it glows in the dark?

– Uncle Lumpy

Small Print: Bracelets are medical-grade silicone, about 22 cm in circumference, and fit most adult and child wrists comfortably. Yours will ship the day after your contribution is received, so PayPal or credit card will be faster than check. Overseas and APO addresses are fine, although shipping may take longer. Sorry, one bracelet per contributor — we don’t want to run out.

All contributions net of direct costs go to Josh for running the Comics Curmudgeon — I don’t accept any compensation for running the site or the fundraiser. I also have no access to Josh’s PayPal accounts, so I don’t know how much anybody gives. If you email uncle.lumpy@comcast.net for Josh’s address, I will discard your email address after I reply. If you prefer to make an anonymous contribution, send your email from a pseudonymous account and omit your mailing address — but without an address, we can’t send you a bracelet. If you have problems contributing by any of these methods, or have questions about the process, let me know by email and I’ll do what I can to help. Thanks!
