Comic Relief -

Can you imagine being a kid whose house – along with all your toys, books, games, etc. – was completely destroyed by a tornado? Ugh. It’s just heartbreaking.

That’s why I was excited to hear about Comics Express. The brainchild of a former editor at Nickelodeon Magazine, it’s a project aimed at sending comic books to kids affected by the Joplin tornadoes.

Apparently other folks are stoked about the project too. They’ve already soared past their funding goal on IndieGogo.

While we’ve seen a lot of amazing art projects dedicated to international disasters, it’s really wonderful to see artists using their talents to help survivors of more local disasters as well.
