iPod Fundraiser

How much did I want an iPod for Christmas? Very, very much. Santa came, but he didn’t bring my iPod. So I wrote to Santa, who since the GOP controls all three branches of government and everything else is now called Republican Santa. Here’s what Republican Santa wrote back:

Jesus H. Christ, what a friggin’ whiner. Want an iPod? Be a good capitalist and sell your labor at low discount prices. That’s how you’ll get your stupid iPod.

This response will cost you $20.

I thought about what Republican Santa said and–surprise!–he’s right. Why not just sell myself for less than I’m worth?

I have lots of CDs, which means I need the 40 meg model. That costs $399. Plus I’m going to need that extra long-life battery they sell for $60. With tax, that makes $500–the cost I usually charge for one original cartoon. But I really want that portable digitalized music box. So here’s an offer that goes to the first bonafide taker: $500 gets you not one, not two, but three originals of your choice. (The catch is that I have to still have the ones you want–but I’ve got the vast majority of them, especially recent ones.) I’ll throw in a copy of any one of my books (provided I have it on hand, but I have almost all of them). And a pen I used to draw countless Ted Rall cartoons.

Bear in mind that original artwork does not contain colors or shading that appears in print or online and that ownership of original artwork does not give you the right to reproduce said artwork–it is for display and enjoyment only.

Offer goes to the first bonafide respondent. Please email me. You can pay via PayPal. After payment is confirmed I’ll post here that the offer is finito.
