Starting today, for at least the next month (but maybe a few days longer as circumstances allow), I’m going to do a little Christmas charity here at the cartoon blog. Here’s how it’s going to work:

1. High-quality, full-color cartoon prints are going to be on sale for $30, which will include shipping (although if it’s an older cartoon that isn’t in color, then it’s going to be black and white). I’ll sign them if you want me to.

2. All of the money collected by December 15, with the exception of what I need to spend on shipping (the reinforced envelopes and the postage usually ends up costing between $4 and $5), will go to a holiday charity for underprivileged children and / or families in the Lincoln and Omaha areas.

Kill two birds with one stone this year! Give your loved ones a unique gift while also giving to those less fortunate! Ever wondered how you can tell Jon Camp “Merry Christmas” and help needy children at the same time? Here’s your chance!

So many of Daryl Cagle’s syndicate cartoonists went to the Abraham Lincoln well that he created a separate category on his site — Lincoln Likes Obama.

You can get the “Crying Lincoln” from David Fitzsimmons; the “Smiling Lincoln” from Steve Breen and Clay Jones; the “Fist Pumping Lincoln,” also from David Fitzsimmons; the “Thumbs Up” Lincoln from Mike Keefe, John Darkow, Scott Stantis and Mike Luckovich; the “Giant Lincoln Holds Tiny Obama in His Hand” from Vince O’Farrell and Bruce Plante; and my favorite, the “Terrorist Fist Jab Lincoln” from Jeff Darcy.

There are a few others in the roundup, but Cagle forgot to include “Obama Contact Lenses Lincoln” from Jeff Koterba.
