Why Don't I Shut UP?

Let me just hit the friday blog scene here with something a little less feather-ruffling...First off, let me say thanks for everyone's opinions on all the posts so far. Its great to be able to just stop here and leave your opinions without getting your heiney reamed like a thanksgiving turkey. I'm glad that, for the most part, we're all adults and can say what we want to say. Yeah, it gets a little (as jaime says) hot in here but that's what makes it so damn fun!!!

As you know, I am a self-syndicated cartoonist of the comic strip Union Avenue. Very recently we started selling Union Avenue merchandise. T-shirts and mugs and stuff like that. The only reason I started putting this junk out was to spread the word about Union Avenue (plus I thought it would be cool to see people wearing the gear).

But the more I thought about it, the more I just couldn't justify taking people's money. So heres the deal: All the profits from the sales on the site will go to The North Shore Animal League. This is an Animal Shelter in New York that is one of the only TRUE No-Kill shelters around. They've been working really hard to make a difference for discarded pets and other homeless creatures so I figured this was a great place to donate to. So click here to go to the Union Avenue merchandise page and buy something for you or a friend. Its a great Christmas Gift and it goes to a good cause.

Shameless promotion aside...I hope everyone has a great weekend. Be good to each other and smile a little bit.
