Our Annual Appeal Comics

Canadian cartoonist Seth and CCS cofounder James Sturm—the team who created our very first brochure 20 years ago —joined forces again to create our 2025 Fundraising Appeal Comic.

The comic traces the history of our favorite season, Cartooning Season, and introduces a fascinating score of seemingly historical, likely fictional, characters. Click here to read the comic online.

This year every donation will be matched up to 50k!
